Hong Kong Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui visited Venice to support the Hong Kong Collateral Event at the 61st Venice Biennale, themed “Fermata: Hong Kong in Venice.” The exhibition features artists Kingsley Ng and Angel Hui, with five installations exploring poetic rhythms in everyday life, curated by the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA). Law also viewed American artist Nick Cave’s sculpture *Amalga (Plot)* and announced the Venice Biennale Internship Programme 2026, which will send six arts-background interns to Venice for a six-week residency.
This visit underscores Hong Kong’s sustained commitment to nurturing young artistic talent and its active participation in the global art scene. The exhibition’s positive reception among international audiences highlights Hong Kong’s ability to present nuanced cultural narratives beyond its fast-paced stereotype. The internship programme further signals a strategic investment in the next generation of art professionals, ensuring Hong Kong’s continued relevance in major international art events like the Venice Biennale.
