“Through Time—Print Art in Aberdeen Street” takes visitors on a journey starting at 22 Aberdeen Street, the site of the London Missionary Society’s Printing Office (the Anglo-Chinese College, now Ying Wa College) in 19th-century Hong Kong. The exhibition invites audiences to travel through time and wander the alleys of Central to uncover the fascinating history of Hong Kong’s Chinese type casting industry. Finally, we return to Print Art Contemporary at 35 Aberdeen Street, PMQ, to witness how a new generation of artists and writers draws inspiration from this intangible cultural heritage of Chinese movable types, to create innovative contemporary visual art and literary works.
