Art@Harbour 2024 opens Mar 25

Large-scale outdoor art project “Art@Harbour 2024” will be held on both sides of Victoria Harbour between March 25 and June 2, bringing the public and tourists a new inspirational and sensory experience.    Through outdoor art installations and digital art facades, the project will integrate art, science and technology, the Leisure & Cultural Services Department said.   Speaking at the project’s opening ceremony today, Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki noted that “Art@Harbour” was first launched in 2022 as an innovative integration of art, science and technology. The project was so well received in Hong Kong and all over the world that it was brought back this year with more partners and international artists involved.   “This year’s edition features many playful creations on both sides of Victoria Harbour.

Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs Patrick Li will succeed Leung Ka-wing, who will leave the service, as Director of Broadcasting on March 1, the Government announced today.   Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip said today Mr Li is a seasoned Administrative Officer with proven leadership and management skills.   “I believe that he will continue to serve the community with professionalism and dedication in his new capacity, and ably lead Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) to meet the challenges ahead.   “As Director of Broadcasting, Mr Li will ensure that RTHK fully abides by the Charter of RTHK.”   The agreement between the Government and Mr Leung, which originally will expire in August, will be resolved early by mutual consent.   At a press conference this morning, Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Edward Yau also noted that the Government had earlier conducted an open recruitment exercise, but could not identify a suitable candidate to fill the Director of Broadcasting post.   “It has been our preference to have someone with broadcasting experience and the best option would be someone from the department through the succession arrangement for Director of Broadcasting, but apparently we may not have that opportunity given the current composition of the team. And we have also failed to identify a suitable candidate from the open recruitment.   “The arrangement to have an administrative officer put in place as the head of RTHK is to reflect the need for both broadcasting as well as administrative and policy strengths."   Mr Yau said he believes that Mr Li is the best person for the post.   “I also would like to reiterate that the responsibility of the editor-in-chief is not about loading everything on his shoulder. As a department, as a public broadcaster, of course, the director would need to work together with his directorate team and also every member of the department.   “So I believe we have found the best person for the job and hopefully the new management, under the new leadership, could also work together with every member of RTHK in faithfully carrying out the duties which could meet the mission laid out for RTHK.”   Click here for their biographies.
