Endeavour for CommunitySupporting Local Art Development
As a champion of arts and culture, Henderson Land is committed to fostering creativity and promoting social innovation in Hong Kong. In synergy with various leading arts events in March 2024, the Group presents Henderson Arts @ Central, joining forces with 10 international and local artists to introduce a series of arts activities at its iconic landmarks in Central. These exciting happenings aim to connect the community through art and bolster Hong Kong’s development as an “Eastmeets- West centre for international cultural exchange”.
The Henderson - “Collected Light: From Legacy to Future”
Designed by world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, The Henderson stands as a new iconic landmark in Central embodying the Group’s commitment to art, innovation and sustainability. Staged at H Queen’s, another landmark in Central, the “Collected Light: From Legacy to Future” exhibition sought inspiration from the visionary design of The Henderson and practice of Zaha Hadid Architects, showcased a collective of 8 multidisciplinary women light artists from diverse cultures. Featuring innovative visual art, sculptures, digital installations, and moving image works by these artists, the exhibition unravelled the characteristics of Zaha Hadid’s provocative search of art, design and architecture within her works through a dynamic interplay of light, materiality and motion.
New Central Harbourfront Site 3 Project - Realising Central Cityscapes
At New Central Harbourfront Site 3 Project, Henderson Land’s world-class landmark in the making, the Group had partnered with 2 passionate and promising homegrown artists, cityscape painter Elaine Chiu and artist Zoie Lam. The 2 artists had masterfully transformed the project’s 220-metre-long hoarding into a vibrant mural, created uniquely for Site 3. In addition to highlighting Hong Kong’s natural landscapes, the artwork incorporated various distinctive elements of our city by featuring some of its most iconic landmarks, including The Henderson, New Central Harbourfront Site 3 Project, International Finance Centre, the Peak, the Court of Final Appeal Building and the Star Ferry. Using vibrant brushstrokes and rich creativity, the artwork showcased the unique charm of Hong Kong as an international city, blending art and cultural experiences into the heart of Central and the harbourside promenade.
Community Arts Workshop
To enhance the artistic ambiance of the project for the broader community, the Group further collaborated with Elaine and Zoie to offer complimentary workshops for 40 disadvantaged children in August 2024. This endeavour strived to nurture creativity, enhance artistic abilities, and empower these young individuals with a valuable and enjoyable opportunity.
