Hong Kong to host festival on urban creativity

12 November 2013

Taking the creative transformation of urban spaces in a bustling, crowded city to a new level, Hong Kong is set to enjoy a week-long festival, between 7-15 December, of the latest in urban creativity.

The Very Hong Kong project will be the city’s first independent, annual programme encouraging a mix of community-founded arts, culture, industrial design and creative events. It is set to take place across key city hubs including the dazzling harbour front, Kowloon East, Central/Admiralty and Hong Kong Island East.

Very Hong Kong, a non-profit foundation, was established by three friends, Cassius Taylor-Smith, Chris Law and Margaret Brooke, all keen to make the city as inclusive and liveable as possible.

“With over 40 collaborative entries already, we continue to urge the public to get involved and submit ideas; our primary goal is to encourage people to redefine the city’s unique, urban spaces with creative events and, above all, share ideas,” said Taylor-Smith.

The eclectic mix of headline events – to include street fashion shows, design seminars, equestrian events, watersports, open-air movies at ferry terminals, art, flower and food markets – will be supported in the coming weeks by a major outdoor creative awareness campaign.
