Hong Kong was once the poster-child of artistic freedom in Asia as well as an unparalleled leader of the region's booming contemporary art market. However, despite growing uncertainties over the "red lines" of censorship, there are more world-class art institutions in the city than ever before and the market has proved resilient, with international auction houses and galleries continuing to expand their presence in the city. FCC President Lee Williamson speaks with South China Morning Post arts editor and FCC member Enid Tsui about her new book, Art in Hong Kong, where she analyses the Hong Kong art world's past, present and the possible paths forward as it strives to develop into an international art hub.


Presented by Kriti Gandhi and Jarrod Watt.
