The 52nd Hong Kong Arts Festival, with this theme, aims to celebrate artistic excellence, cultural heritage, and the promising future of the arts, marking a significant return to form after challenging years for the cultural sector.
By invoking both "bloom" and "classics," the theme suggests a continuity of cultural heritage while also embracing innovation and future developments in the arts. We created three design concepts to echo the theme:
1. Timeline of Past & Present
A flowing timeline with nodes marking artistic milestones, represent a growth from past to present
2. Golden Stage
This concept evokes the idea of a prime period or "golden age" in the arts, resonating with the Chinese phrase "花樣年華" (the years of flowery beauty).
3. Slide projector
The Slide concept uses geometric shapes inspired by slide projectors. Each panel symbolizing the connection between past and present artistic expressions.
