Date: Saturday 25 May, 2019 Time: 11:30am  Venue: Asia Society Hong Kong Center Registration: required; free HKUFAAA organized a docent tour for the exhibition A Story of Light at Asia Society. Participants learnt about Hon Chi-fun's five decades of artistic endeavours: from the City Hall silkscreen debut of 1968, to a fine selection of 1970s airbrush paintings, the experimental Polaroids, and his calligraphic paintings before and after his stroke in 2000. Meanwhile, there is a fascinating curatorial pairing of Yukaloo by James Turrell, which is his first ever installation in Hong Kong. Feedback "Nicole, thanks for your informative and lively presentation which I enjoyed very much. If I were to visit the exhibition on my own, I would surely have misread the artist’s circle and light series as some sort of simple representation of the sun and moon. The background information you provided is really a great help! Thanks again!" --  Grace Wong (Graduate member; HKU BA 1985) "Artworks from different stages of Hon are showcased; Alumni with various interests came together and explored. As titled, it’s A Story of Light, but this tour also addressed the story of life - both the artists' and ours the viewers'. That the like-minded gets connected, icing on the cake, James Turrell." -- Charmaine Chan (Graduate member; HKU BA 2014)

Date: Sunday 19 May, 2019 Time: 10:30am – 1pm Venue: Tsz Shan Monastery Buddhist Art Museum Registration: required, quota of 15; free The Tsz Shan Monastery Buddhist Art Museum is designed for the display of Buddhist artifacts, the first of its kind in Hong Kong. With its recent opening, HKUFAAA arranged a special guided visit to this monastery for our alumni community, primarily focusing on the art museum collection.      Feedback "Thanks again for organizing. It's a valuable experience, very much enjoyed it!" --- Victoria Lau (Subscribing Member; HKU BSc, 2015) "The trip to Tsz Shan Monastery is definitely a pleasant and eye-opening experience. I appreciate how the privately owned collection is put on public display for greater good. It also leads me to rethink about art patronage which was so important in art history but is now often overshadowed by the abandance of government-owned or non-profit institutions." --- Sumyi Li (Graduate Member; HKU BA, 2009) "The docent [Jay Mok] adopted a lively approach in explaining particular iconography of the exhibits, enabling us to fully immerse ourselves
