No longer eclipsed by their counterparts on the mainland, Hong Kong's artists are finally on the rise

Art from Hong Kong is compellingly showcased at this year's Art Basel Hong Kong fair and city-wide art week, reflecting the city's distinctive artistic identity amidst recent political changes. Enid Tsui, a local journalist, highlights in her book 'Art in Hong Kong: Portrait of a City in Flux' that despite the constraints imposed by the National Security Law, the local art scene continues to thrive. International institutions are increasingly recognizing Hong Kong's relevance in contemporary art, showcasing artworks that respond to the changes in the socio-political landscape.

Nearly six years ago, the rest of the world watched aghast as Hong Kong became engulfed in a spectacular conflagration of competing ideologies and values.

I'm sure they will find the local art scene more relevant than ever. There are things that can no longer be done here since the NSL.

There's still a lot that can be done here.
