Indie folk singer-songwriter Gwenji’s experience of studying music at school is likely to be all too familiar to many Hong Kong schoolchildren. She’ll be with us later to tell us about how she grew up playing the violin before going on to find her own path. While Gwenji found her voice in songwriting, Jonathan Jay Lee’s formative influence was comics. He was born and raised in the United States, but an early small project for Marvel comics opened doors for him to work in Hong Kong later in the 2000s.
He’s been here ever since.

The relationship of Chinese painter Wu Guanzhong and Hong Kong continues, even though the artist died in 2010. In March this year, Wu’s son donated HK$100 million to fund a “Wu Guanzhong Art Sponsorship” to promote Wu’s work and other related Chinese modern art. Three programmes have been launched under the fund.
You can catch one of those programmes now in “Between Black and White” a thematic exhibition of a selection of Wu’s paintings, on show at the Wu Guanzhong Gallery.
