HONG KONG, February 22, 2013 — Asia Society Hong Kong Center celebrated an "explosive year" at its new home in Admiralty. The first anniversary celebration, titled "AsiaVersary," was a showcase of Hong Kong's homegrown next-generation creative talent —  fashion designers from Hong Kong Design Institute,  a cappella group Mosaic from the University of Hong Kong, local jazz musicians Evil Bones, a surprise flash mob dance by MoDac, and an ancient Chinese dramatic art, Bian Lian, in which the performer changed colorful masks.
