AFTER SUNSET

Hong Kong is a unique blend of cultures: it is also a fascinating amalgamation of past and present. Examples of this temporal coexistence can be found on every street with traditional and new shops and businesses. Old and new architecture rub shoulders in this hyper modern metropolis where old crafts remain alive, subtly guiding and influencing daily life through folk culture.
At risk of disappearing at unimaginable speed our heritage is being tossed aside amidst of challenges ranging from hasty urban renewal, to economic adversity in a post-COVID world.
After Sunset is dedicated to go beyond preservation by reframing our heritage. We want to ensure a relevant place for traditions, craft and heritage outside of a museum.
