The "Harbour Day" Project draws on the history of Hong Kong's single previous "Harbour Day" in 2005, using art to address the concept of a lost civic festival. This project is not merely a reinterpretation of the Hong Kong harbour landscape but an active undertaking to reshape cultural memory.
The project employs a typological approach, compiling an archive of Victoria Harbour images collected over many years to present a visual narrative of the city that is both familiar and estranged. The showcase aims to inspire the audience to uncover meaning within the visual repetition and variation, and to consider how the harbour, as a site of cultural connection and shared remembrance, influences our cultural identity and collective memory.

The inaugural Hong Kong Harbour Day was successfully held on November 13, 2005, offering residents and visitors of Hong Kong an opportunity to celebrate the city's magnificent harbour. Against the striking backdrop of the urban skyline, the harbour served as a magnificent venue for a series of spectacular events, both on the water and along the shore.

"Harbour Day" was a major initiative launched after the 2003 SARS epidemic with the aim of revitalizing the economy and was intended to become a traditional, annual festival for Hong Kong. However, it ultimately did not achieve traditional festival status, a development that was, to some extent, anticipated.

After an interval of two decades, and following the challenges of the 2023 pandemic, "Harbour Day" is scheduled to be relaunched in 2025. Hong Kong residents and visitors will once again have the opportunity to celebrate the city's magnificent harbour. After a quarter of a century, Victoria Harbour remains fundamentally unchanged.
