  • (WKCD) Development M+ in West Kowloon Cultural District
    WKCD-546 Legislative Council Subcommittee on West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) Development M+ in West Kowloon Cultural District Purpose This paper seeks to give a full account of the proposal to develop a forward-looking cultural institution with museum functions - M+ as a core arts and cultural facility in the West Kowloon Cultural District (“WKCD”). Background 2. In September 2003, the Government launched the “Invitation for Proposals” (“IFP”) for developing WKCD as a world-class arts, cultural, entertainment and commercial district. The IFP had specified a cluster of four museums with four themes (moving image, modern art, ink and design) commanding a total Net Operating Floor Area (“NOFA”) of at least 75 000 m², and an art exhibition centre as Mandatory Requirements of the project. 3. After the IFP for WKCD was discontinued, the Government appointed the Museums Advisory Group (“MAG”) under the Consultative Committee on Core Arts and Cultural Facilities of WKCD in April 2006 to advise on the need for the four museums previously proposed and their preferred themes, the need to include museums with other themes, the scale and major requirements of each museum and the need for and major specifications of the Art Exhibition Centre. MAG’s deliberations process 4. The MAG conducted a public consultation exercise from mid-May to mid-June 2006 to solicit views on the proposed museum in WKCD. During the period, two open public forums, one focus group meeting and three presentation hearings were held apart from wide publicity arranged through advertisements, radio announcements, press release and invitation letters. 28 written submissions and 30 views were received during the consultation period.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • TFK/02/2017 on 14 February 2017
    Task Force on Harbourfront Developments in Kowloon, Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing For discussion TFK/02/2017 on 14 February 2017 The Development of Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District PURPOSE This paper contains information on the proposed Hong Kong Palace Museum (“HKPM”). BACKGROUND 2. The proposed development of HKPM in the West Kowloon Cultural District (“WKCD”) will be a unique collaborative arrangement between the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (“WKCDA”) and the Palace Museum under which the exquisite collection of the Palace Museum will be loaned to HKPM for display on a long-term basis and in a more in-depth and comprehensive manner. The building of a new world-class museum dedicated to the display and interpretation of artefacts from the renowned Palace Museum is a significant addition to the cultural fabric of WKCD. Being the second major museum in WKCD, HKPM will enhance the cultural offering and greatly increase WKCD’s attractiveness as a cultural destination. Focusing on traditional Chinese culture, HKPM will add to WKCD’s diverse mix of programmes and activities, thereby enabling it to attract visitors of all ages and backgrounds, both locally and from outside Hong Kong. 3. Sitting across the Art Park from M+, HKPM will complement M+ as a museum of 20th and 21st century visual culture, allowing visitors to explore in close proximity arts and culture of both the contemporary and the ancient. It will also reinforce WKCD’s cultural offering of traditional Chinese art, with the Xiqu Centre located at the eastern end of WKCD focusing on performing art (Chinese opera) and HKPM at the western end Task Force on Harbourfront Developments in Kowloon, Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing TFK/02/2017 showcasing precious artefacts and artworks of the Palace Museum.

  • Representations of Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District by Local
    Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Vol 18, 2018, pp 44–54 © FASS, UBD Representations of Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District by Local English Newspapers Benny Lim The Chinese University of Hong Kong Abstract To enhance cultural development in Hong Kong, the idea of West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) was mooted in 1998. WKCD is the biggest and most important arts and culture project by the Hong Kong government to date. This paper seeks to examine how Hong Kong newspapers have reported on WKCD since the inception of the Authority in 2008. The purpose of this research is to identify the common issues on WKCD as reported by the newspapers, in order to deduce the possible effects of news reporting on the public perceptions of the district. This study employs the concept of agenda-setting theory in its theoretical approach on how newspapers direct attitudes towards a particular issue. A total of 744 news reports from three local English newspapers bearing the keywords West Kowloon Cultural District and WKCD were subjected to content analysis, of which 576 relevant articles are further classified into seven categories. To better achieve the research objective, semi-structured interviews were carried out with two specialists. Research revealed that the majority of the news coverage of WKCD focuses on political issues, rather than the arts and culture. Further analysis uncovered two major reasons for this focus. First, political issues are generally more newsworthy than arts and culture, and politics-oriented coverage gives WKCD more editorial space in the news media. Second, centering politics in the reporting of WKCD functions as a way to articulate to the public the power of the media to monitor the government.
