In a city as densely populated as Hong Kong, the lack of space for artists to do large-scale work is a constant challenge. Lampworking, a type of glasswork in which glass is melted by a torch or lamp doesn’t necessarily require huge amounts of space, but glass art in general can require a large workshop to house the furnaces for glass making. Despite that limitation, Hong Kong does have a few studios, galleries and artists that focus on this art that dates as far back as 4,000 B.C. Sunny Wang is a glass artist who also teaches the art and helped established the glass workshop at Hong Kong Baptist University.

The annual WYNG Media Award is a series of programmes that focus on visual images related to social issues affecting Hong Kong. The programme is curated under a different theme each year. In 2017/2018, responding to the theme of “Transition”, Lee Kai-chung took on Hong Kong’s history through the study of historical records and objects. On show at the WMA Space, “I Could Not Recall How I Got Here” is an interim exhibition that shows Hong Kong’s ‘transition’ through sculptures, photography, videos and installations.

The Romer String Quartet was formed in 2013 when four locally born musicians got together. They were last on The Works five years ago. Today, they’re here again to talk about their upcoming chamber music concert that focuses on five Nordic composers, Sibelius, Leifs, Nielsen, Grieg and Stenhammar.
