The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) has launched the "Visible Sounds & Audible Images" multimedia lecture series as a free online programme. The series is conceived and hosted by scenographer and singing bowl artist Tsang Man-tung.
The lectures feature Tsang and four guest speakers who share how, through their works, they have looked into time and space, the inner and the outer, the material and the spiritual, and speed and its reversal. In every lecture, Tsang's singing bowl performance complements the guest speaker's artworks, alongside a dialogue on arts between the artist and the moderator.
