Registration 4:45pm
Screening and Q&A 5:00pm
Cocktail 6:00pm


In this evening program, we say farewell to our current exhibition, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Presents - A World Within: The Art and Inspiration of Irene Chou. The evening will begin with a documentary screening of the film The Universe of Irene Chou (Zhou Luyun)—In Her Own Words which was commissioned in 2004 to mark the artist's 80th birthday. The short film shows Irene speak about her life and art, allowing viewers to catch a glimpse of the character behind her paintings. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with the exhibition’s curator Joyce Wong, and independent curator Johnson Chang.

Join us afterward for one last glance through the exhibition guided by our docents and enjoy a cocktail reception as ASHK says thank you to the sponsor, lenders, supporters, volunteers, docents and you the public who all helped make this exhibition so successful.

Special thanks to The Ink Society for generously providing Asia Society Hong Kong Center with the documentary.
