At 6pm in the Paul-Desmarais Theatre, exhibition curator Shirley Surya, Curator, Design and Architecture, at M+, Hong Kong, will present the project and her curatorial approach. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with architectural historian Li Hua from Southeast University, Nanjing, and co-editor of the publication, as well as artist Wang Tuo, who created new works as part of the exhibition and publication.
