‘Beginning a New Decade: Art for a Sustainable Future’ Exhibition
7 Dec 2024 – 1 Apr 2025
Art serves as a significant medium that has profoundly influenced human emotions and behaviours. Throughout history, numerous individuals have drawn inspiration from artists and their works, and this inspiration has often helped to transform societal norms and attitudes. This exhibition, timed to coincide with the celebration of the 11th anniversary of the inception of the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change, showcases artworks by 11 artists from Hong Kong. These artworks explore the environmental challenges at the nexus of art and climate change. Each artwork is a heartfelt response to the beauty of the natural world, and conveys the urgent and complex environmental challenges we face together. It invites us to reflect on our own actions and responsibilities in protecting our planet, and to recognize that we each have a role to play. By fostering a deeper understanding of the climate issues affecting us all, these works encourage us to join hands and collaboratively shape a sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.
