The glowing past of Hong Kong: City of Lights

Ever wondered what Hong Kong looked like will all those neon signs?

Hong Kong's neon glow has long been more than signage – it's a cultural language, a living archive of Hong Kong's identity. 'Featuring Keith Macgregor's photography, City of Lights' – located at the Blue Lotus Gallery – celebrates this legacy, alongside iconic photographers, tracing how neon once defined the rhythm of streets and how its fading presence now sparks nostalgia and preservation efforts. Curated as both homage and enquiry, the exhibition invites audiences to step into the luminous past while considering neon's future. It's not just about the stories they hold – of shopfronts, cinemas, and night markets that shaped Hong Kong's collective memory. This is a must-visit for photography lovers and anyone curious about the luminous past of Hong Kong's culturally significant neon signs. It asks us to see neon not only as craft and design but also as a pulse of urban life worth remembering, reinterpreting, and protecting.
