Preaching House of the American Congregational Church

When Dr Sun Yat-sen arrived in Hong Kong in late 1883, he initially attended the Diocesan Home and Orphanage of the Anglican Church as a day pupil. He lived in the Preaching House of the American Congregational Church (now China Congregational Church) at 2 Bridges Street and was baptised here later, taking the Christian name “Yat-sen (Rixin)”. Dr Sun continued to live at the Preaching House even after transferring to the Government Central School.

Make a history-telling window on the external wall of the existing building. The original building was gone already. Under the lights and shades due to the changing time, season or weather, the window recalls the memories when Dr Sun Yat-sen studied, baptised and lived in Hong Kong. It looks like the building is remembering something, only at occasional moments.

Leung Ka Yin, Joey

Leung Ka-yin, Joey, an independent artist in Hong Kong, received her BA (2000) and MFA (2007) from the Department of Fine Arts, Chinese University of Hong Kong. Leung combines traditional Chinese painting and popular culture in her works. She explores the use of contemporary writing equipment to present the flavour of Chinese art, trying to push the boundary of different media. The stories in her artworks depict her feeling and fantasy towards modern life. It’s also an attempt to introspect the value of tradition in contemporary world. Leung’s works are widely collected and her poster works have been exhibited at The International competition Trnava Poster Triennial 2003 (Czec) and the IPT 2003 International Poster Triennial In Toyama, Japan.
