Launch of Special Olympics Hong Kong Fans Scheme

Launch of Special Olympics Hong Kong Fans Scheme Promoting Equality in Sports & Social Inclusion through cross-industry collaborations

Special Olympics Hong Kong’s Fans Scheme is officially launched. The ceremony was officiated by Mr. Yeung Tak-keung, JP, Commissioner for Sports and saw special guests like Chairperson of Special Olympics Hong Kong, Dr. Evelyn Lam, JP. Established in 1976, Special Olympics Hong Kong has provided year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. With sports as a means of integration into the society, they can nurture their mental wellbeing and share the joy of sports with friends and family. 

In 2015, the United Nations launched 17 interlinked global goals as a part of The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), number 17 of which is Establishing Partnerships for Goals to encourage cross-sectoral partnerships to make sustainable goals a reality. 

To embrace United Nations’ sustainable goals and to reflect the ethos of “In Sports, Everyone is Equal”, Special Olympics Hong Kong has established the Fans Scheme in hopes to shine a spotlight on athletes with intellectual disabilities through cross-sectorial partnerships with parties including like-minded folk who want to promote social harmony; sponsors; donors; coaches; schools; athletes with intellectual disabilities and their parents; volunteers and more. 

Means may vary but the goal is to establish a meaningful, widespread network to spread the message of social harmony and integration whether through active participation in Special Olympics Hong Kong’s activities or other means of support. The launch ceremony also saw these parties present to commemorate the monumental event. 

Mr. Yeung Tak-keung, JP, Commissioner for Sports, praised Special Olympics Hong Kong’s efforts in promoting social integration amongst athletes with intellectual disabilities. 

“Since founding, Special Olympics Hong Kong has offered sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, so to boost their sportsmanship, self-confidence, courage, teamwork and communication skills. Social integration and positive energy are fostered through the sharing of joy with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. I believe that this Fans Scheme can deepen the public’s understanding for athletes with intellectual disabilities and encourage partnerships and communication between different sectors in our city.” 

Dr. Evelyn Lam, JP, Chairperson of Special Olympics Hong Kong, says, “Since inauguration, Special Olympics Hong Kong has been active in promoting social inclusion and providing sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. 

Throughout our 45-year journey, we’ve been blessed with the support and help from different partners and are grateful to see the immense growth in our athletes, who’ve been privileged to join competitions of varying scales whether locally or internationally. The launch of the Fans Scheme will be a milestone in social harmony. You are all invited to join our project and to spread the word to every member of society to aid the growth of our humble family whilst promoting social harmony. 

The launch of Special Olympics Hong Kong Fans Scheme Promoting Sports for All & Social Harmony The first phase of Special Olympics Hong Kong Fans Scheme will focus on promotion and expanding its network.

M+ presents Nalini Malani: Vision in Motion in The Studio

M+, Asia’s first global museum of contemporary visual culture in the West Kowloon Cultural District (West Kowloon), announced the opening of Nalini Malani: Vision in Motion, an inaugural presentation in The Studio, one of the museum’s signature venues located at the B2 level, as part of the museum’s grand opening display. Widely recognised as a pioneer of video art and experimental film, Nalini Malani is one of the most prolific cross-disciplinary artists working today. 

She is internationally renowned for her reverse paintings and immersive multimedia installations which often combine personal narrative with motifs from folklore, classical literature, and mythology to reflect on the collective trauma of the disenfranchised. 

Her fantastical and multilayered creations, which are informed by her early experiences as a refugee following the partition of India in 1947, express a resolute commitment to investigating the effects of war, violence, and the repression of women. Malani’s animations and installations, as well as her paintings and performances, feature imagery that feels both personal and universal. 

Vision in Motion brings together three major artworks - Utopia (1969–1976), Remembering Mad Meg (2007–2019), and Can You Hear Me (2018–2020) - showcasing the evolution of her practice over the past fifty years as she embraced new technologies and ways of working. 

The exhibition highlights the artist’s distinctive methods of storytelling, which have the power to transcend the traumas of national divisions and address collective issues of social injustice.
