HK Urban Canvas 2022 – Exhibition
Hong Kong is renowned for its dense high-rise streetscapes. If you look closely, these streets have lots of secrets – with old corner groceries, stationery stores and laundry shops that hold traces of the city’s history and keep collective memories alive. This year, the HK Urban Canvas 2022 Exhibition showcases a total of 83 shopfront shutter artworks that we have created in nine districts since 2017. Don’t miss this chance to view these colourful works and learn the unique stories of the businesses behind the shutters!
Organised by Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation and powered by Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, HK Urban Canvas is a community art project that enhances community inclusion and highlights unique aspects of local culture through art and oral history. Since 2017, our vibrant shutter artworks have been showcased in neighbourhoods around the city, including Wan Chai, Central and Western District, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon City, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Ap Lei Chau. The project has highlighted the city’s transition from a place of fishing villages to a centre for trade, manufacturing and finance, and explored its diverse food culture, traditional crafts, deities, markets and shops.
This year, we celebrate the history of Jordan’s Nepali community and traditional trades, the old industrial area of Quarry Bay, and the former fishing community of Shau Kei Wan. Between 23 May and 1 June, visit our free exhibition at G/F, Cityplaza South and get an exclusive gift when you download our HK Urban Canvas mobile app. Stay tuned for the latest information on our website and Facebook page (@HKUrbanCanvas).

Miller Performing Arts: I’mperfect - Seeking Youth Performers
When Lexie, Taz and Charlie meet online, they quickly hit it off and start a private chat – not realising that they also know each other in real life.
In the anonymous online world, each of them lives perfect lives. But offline, all three are confronted with body image issues, and soon things start to unravel…
Written and directed by Lindsey McAlister, the new original theatre production I’mperfect – the third in our flagship trilogy following #hashtag in 2020 and Only a Girl in 2021 – explores teenage identity in a world where you can be whoever you want to be online, but not without consequences.
We are now seeking dancers and female-identifying actors aged 12 to 25 who are keen to be part of I’mperfect. The show opens this November. Experience preferred, enthusiasm a must!
