Guest Talk: Cultural Development and Institution Building in Hong Kong 

Hong Kong has transformed from being considered a “cultural desert” to a international contemporary arts hub in recent years with the opening of the West Kowloon Cultural District and the rise of Art Basel Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Art Week. Having worked in curatorial leadership positions at Tai Kwun, Centre for Heritage and Arts, M+, museum of visual culture and Para Site Art Centre, Tobias has played pivotal role in Hong Kong’s cultural development. In this talk, Tobias will share his experiences in fostering the contemporary art scene in Hong Kong, and his perspectives on the unique challenges and opportunities in the city. He will also share about his new role in cultural placemaking, reflecting the diverse arenas in which curatorial practice can make a difference in our cities.
