CONTAGIOUS CITIES

VARIOUS LOCATIONS ACROSS HONG KONG

JANUARY TO DECEMBER

Organised by the Wellcome Trust, a Uk-based charitable foundation, Contagious Cities is an international collaborative project marking the centenary of the 1918-19 flu pandemic that aims to kick-start conversations around preparedness for epidemics. Taking place in Hong Kong, New York and Geneva, the project incorporates exhibitions, artist residencies, broadcasts and other events. Hong Kong will see two exhibitions at Tai Kwun and projects at the Asia Art Archive and the Oi! art space, as well as the launch of an app by the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences to guide users along the city’s Taipingshan Medical Heritage Trail. wellcome.ac.uk/contagiouscities
