Helsinki to Hong Kong Exchange Programme 2025 for media artists
The Helsinki to Hong Kong Exchange Programme, initiated by nProjekt, facilitates cultural exchange and artistic collaboration between media artists based in Helsinki and the art scene of Hong Kong. The programme provides two selected artists with an opportunity to exhibit a series of artworks alongside local Hong Kong media artists. The residency period is from 1 to 30 November 2025.
This fully funded cultural exchange will enable the selected artists to immerse themselves in the distinctive environment of one of Asia's most celebrated metropolises and to develop their artistic practice within a specific cultural context.
Initiated and organised by nProjekt in collaboration with Helsinki partner Myymälä2, local venue collaborators Mooroom and Pointsman Artspace, and supported by the Hong Kong ArtsDevelopment Council, this exchange aims to promote cross-cultural dialogue and innovation in media arts.
