EVENT DESCRIPTION
Since 2022, Tai Kwun’s annual signature programme InnerGlowhas transformed the façades and exteriors of the Barrack Block of the former Central Police Station into ambitious large-scale displays of digital animation. In partnership with The Electric Canvas, Australia’s foremost large-scale architectural projection mapping specialist, Tai Kwun once again converts the surface of its visual heritage into a showcase for several generations of Hong Kong artists during this year’s Chinese New Year holidays.
From 26 January to 14 February, Tai Kwun’s outdoor spaces from the Parade Ground to the Prison Yard will erupt with nightly radiance. This year’s feature, Garden of Reflection by the internationally acclaimed local new media artist HUNG Keung, fills Tai Kwun’s Parade Ground with the artist’s singular vision, both deeply devoted to Chinese language and literary culture and equally conversant with contemporary technology.
Running in parallel with InnerGlow will be InnerGlow Searchlight, a curated mentorship initiated through Tai Kwun’s Talent Development Programme, returning for a second year to provide opportunities for student artists in creative media, film and design to conceive and realize innovative concepts on a large scale. Under the experienced guidance of The Electric Canvas and local multimedia artist Ng Tsz Kwan, nine new works by 23 student artists, showcasing the creativity of local university students and graduates, will fill various historic structures in Tai Kwun’s Prison Yard, including the Prison Wall, the F Hall and D Hall.
Through InnerGlow Searchlight, Tai Kwun confirms its commitment to strengthening connections and blurring boundaries between creativity and technological expertise. The programme is made possible with core funding provided by The Hong Kong Jockey Club through its Charities Trust as one of Tai Kwun’s arts and heritage programmes, and CLP Holdings Limited as the Principal Sponsor.
