To celebrate to end of Hong Kong's three-year-long mask mandate, Harbour City is launching Inside Out: Harbour and the City, a community art project originally created by renowned French artist JR in 2011. Almost 500,000 people spanning 148 countries and territories have participated in the Inside Out Project over the past decade, including notable projects of Panthéon in Paris and Tower Bridge in London. Now, it's Hong Kong's turn.
Last month, Hongkongers were invited to take part by submitting online individual portraits of themselves smiling or having their picture taken at a special photo booth set up at Harbour City. Over 450 photographs were submitted and are on display from now to May 7 at Ocean Terminal Forecourt, the exterior wall of Ocean Centre, and Gateway Arcade entrances on Canton Road, welcoming passersby with a sea of friendly smiles.
