In this issue

March in Hong Kong sees both Arts Month and Art Week—two massive events on the city's cultural calendar that incorporate the likes of Art Basel and the Hong Kong Arts Festival. This March marks the debut of the Big Art Festival in the city, a luxury gala event that will bring together global musical stars operatic legend Plácido Domingo, violinist Julian Rachlin and pianist Hélène Mercier-Arnault. The latter appears on our cover this month, and in her feature, she talks about balancing her passion with belonging to one of the world's most recognised families, and how she ensured her children grew up loving music. Elsewhere in the edition, we look at how organisations across Asia are working to meet the United Nations' goals for International Women's Day 2026; speak to Franco-Chinese painter Yan Pei Ming as well as Angel Hui and Kingsley Ng, the artists representing Hong Kong at this year's Venice Biennale; and revisit some of our favourite art-loving hotels around the world.

The Art of Navigation

Childhood questions have a curious way of lingering long after we outgrow them. Among the most enduring is the deceptively simple: what do you want to be when you grow up? Beneath its innocence sits something more revealing—perhaps an early attempt to name identity, long before we understand the forces that shape a life.
