As we inch closer to the end of October, the city is ready to embrace the spooky and cosy ambience of the season – though the sweltering weather means we cannot ease into an autumnal mood just yet.
Whether it is trying dishes with seasonal ingredients or checking out a new movie, here are five things to do in Hong Kong this weekend.
1. M+’s Myths and Monsters
As the first major survey exploring two centuries of Asian fantasy visual culture, the latest exhibition at M+, “Myths and Monsters: The Art of Fantasy in Asia”, spans four thematic sections that reveal how artists use fantastical storytelling to navigate shifting sociopolitical realities.
Featuring more than 400 cross-disciplinary works across fine art, architecture, fashion, video games and film, the display highlights everything from 19th century folklore to Asian surrealism and iconic pop culture phenomena such as Godzilla and Ghost in the Shell.
Complementing the exhibition are public lectures, interactive digital experiences, companion film screenings at M+ Cinema, an official co-published research book and exclusive themed merchandise.
