Speaker: Stéphane Lam (Founder and Director of Le Pavillon Rouge des Arts Hong Kong (PRAHK))
Moderator: Hain Yoon (Assistant Curator at Asia Society Hong Kong Center)

Born in Cuba in 1902, Wifredo Lam represents both the synergy and conflict born out of the merging of multiple cultural traditions: his mother was of Afro-Spanish heritage and his father, of Cantonese roots. Homecoming at Asia Society Hong Kong Center marks Wifredo Lam’s first major solo retrospective in Hong Kong and also the pivotal return of Lam to Asia – tracing his Chinese father’s lineage and studying the significance of the Chinese diaspora. In this talk, Stéphane Lam, Founder and Director of Le Pavillon Rouge des Arts Hong Kong will be joined by Hain Yoon, Assistant Curator of Asia Society Hong Kong Center to discuss Wifredo Lam’s exhibited paintings and prints at ASHK.
