• ‘The question of cultural leadership in Hong Kong is not simply about individual leaders; ultimately it is about whether culture can lead, which makes the task for cultural leaders even more challenging. What is at stake in the cultural aspiration of the region is not so much economic growth - which Hong Kong, with its financial know-how, will surely achieve - but whether culture will play a leading role in the values and aspiration of our society.’
  
  Prof. Daniel K L Chua
  Director of ACLP, Head of the School of Humanities, HKU
