Step into the hidden world of Sham Shui Po area with the Fair’s speakeasy bar, and enjoy Hong Kong-inspired cocktails designed by Kiyoshi Hoshimi- Caines, former Head Sommelier and Beverage Director at renowned Michelin-starred Yardbird and RŌNIN.
Ceet Fouad, Chicanos
Chicanos in the City
If you have been living in Hong Kong for some time, you must definitely have seen the colourful “Chicanos” chickens graffitis by Ceet Fouad on every street corner and big colourful murals. Through the colourful humorous approach, Ceet’s humanised chicken serve as a parody of humans living in this modern and over-crowded world.

Young Talent: Landscape Mindscape
Curated by Peony Hung, the Landscape Mindscape exhibition will present the multifaceted expressions of seven Hong Kong young artists, unveiling the interplay between their personalities and creative endeavours. Each artist offers a unique lens shaped by their surroundings and experiences. The exhibition has three distinct spaces: the royal azure room, the rust-red room and the timeless white room.
