Slowly, Curator Alberta Leung’s personal research into her decade-long insomnia evolved into a curatorial project that matured as The Darkest Hour at 3am. Developed with spatial designer Angela Pang, the exhibition space comprises 3 rooms that trace the journey from the “detrimental effects of techno-capitalism on sleep toward the restorative potential of mindful relaxation and sleep hygiene”. The immersive multi-sensory exhibition recreates the psychological landscape of insomnia, posing the question of whether rest can be reclaimed. A series of live performances, screenings, and workshops is scheduled throughout November.

Marc Chagall: Dreaming in Colour, De Sarthe 

Legendary modernist Marc Chagall was a master of colour, creating a unique visual language that blends memory, folklore, and fantasy into a dreamlike fantasy. De Sarthe’s exhibition brings together a selection of works from 1950 to 1984, including paintings and original works on paper. “This exhibition focuses on the works where his imagination was most immediate and unbridled,” said Pascal de Sarthe, founder of DE SARTHE.

Somewhere better than this place / Nowhere better than this place, David Zwirner 

David Zwirner presents key bodies of work by one of the most significant artists who emerged from New York in the late 1980s to early 1990s. Felix Gonzalez-Torres provoked questions about identity, mortality, and acceptance through a reduced formal vocabulary. With simple everyday materials, he created evocative conceptual art. Gonzalez-Torres’ art will soon trickle into the urban landscape of Hong Kong, negotiating relationships between private and public space, and exploring the ideas of belonging and estrangement, as well as the fixed and the fleeting. 

Where: 5–6/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong
When: November 19, 2025–February 14, 2026

Gulnur Mukazhanova: Dowry of the Soul, CHAT 

Stepping through the red arched form at the entrance of the exhibition feels like stepping into another realm—one where deep-seated memories, connections to the homeland, and paradoxical emotions of hollowness and hope all rise to the surface. In Kazakh artist Gulnur Mukazhanova’s largest solo exhibition to date, she examines the tension between globalisation and traditional values from a female perspective. In Central Asian culture, tuskyiz are elaborately hand-embroidered wall hangings that serve as ‘visual prayers’ to commemorate the wedding of a son or daughter. Mukazhanova replaces the tuskyiz’s traditional ornamentation with minimalist palettes and compositions, reflecting the emptiness she feels rather than joy. Until November 30, 2025, her large-scale installation False Hope or Moment of the Present (2018-2025) will be open for public viewing at The Hall of The Mills— fragments of traditional Kazakh textiles and locally sourced fabrics held together and suspended in mid-air. In addition, over one hundred exquisitely crafted and deeply moving works are exhibited until March 2026. 

Where: 2/F, The Mills, 45 Pak Tin Par St, Tsuen Wan
When: Until March 1, 2026

Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums, Hong Kong Palace Museum 

Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Supreme Court of Antiquities of Egypt, Ancient Egypt Unveiled features 250 works from seven major Egyptian museums and the latest archaeological finds from Saqqara. The exhibition is organised into four thematic sections, spanning nearly 5,000 years of history. This spectacular array includes over 60 statues of pharaohs and deities, seven mummy coffins, and eight animal mummies. Among the highlights is a colossal statue of Tutankhamun, one from a pair that once stood in the mortuary temple of the last pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, until they were excavated in 1930-31. An immersive display also recreates the treasure-clad tomb, giving visitors a taste of an excavator’s perspective.
