‘A Light Never Goes Out’ tells the history of neon sign design, showcases the dazzling beauty of Hong Kong’s neon signs, reflecting the city’s cultural shifts and the legacy of traditional crafts amidst modernisation through its characters’ emotional struggles, revealing touching stories hidden beneath the craft and culture.

Cardin Chan, General Manager of the neon light conservation organisation Tetra Neon Exchange, and Michael Leung, Curator of ‘Passing the Baton’ Exhibition will join us in the post-screening sharing session.

【Pass The Baton】Part 2 of the Exhibition: ‘From Process To Progress’ Public Guided Tour

‘Pass The Baton’ Exhibition Part 2: ‘From Process To Progress’ is here! Explore how designers use design thinking to break through the standard framework for progression! This part showcases more than 20 avant-garde design projects, exploring how designers break through the framework via design thinking, use tangible materials to convey intangible values through circular design, and give new meaning to old objects by way of cultural inheritance to pass on the beauty of things and recreate a wave of popular trends.

An interactive installation ’Beyond Sound’ will be set up inside the exhibition to create a brand-new sensory experience! Created by Korean designer Hitencho in collaboration with curator Michael Leung, with the application of the principle of acoustic flow, the installation transforms the frequency of sound waves into unique ripples on the water’s surface, giving a new visual appearance to sound. In the soft and charming lavender-purple exhibition hall, you can play your favourite music via Bluetooth devices and experience the perfect interplay of sound and vision.

Join the guided public tours and discover the infinite possibilities of design!
