HONG KONG – ‘Colours of Humanity’ Arts Prize 2022 Exhibition is now open until 7 July 2022.
Now in its eighth edition, the “Colours of Humanity” Arts Prize 2022 is co-hosted by Justice Centre Hong Kong and the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao, and supported by the Goethe-Institut Hongkong. The focus of this year’s exhibition was to celebrate diversity and inclusion through arts. Each piece of the shortlisted works acknowledges the extraordinary resilience shown by people across borders and cultures during the Covid-19 pandemic alongside conflicts in Ukraine and beyond. The Arts Prize honours art as a lens through which we see a shared peaceful and dignified future for all, and as a catalyst for introspection, inclusivity and collective healing.
Each of the exhibited works will be available for purchase via auction, with 80% of all proceeds supporting the prize and non-profit refugee protection work of Justice Centre Hong Kong. The auction of the finalist artworks took place in-person on 7 July 2022.

All other 19 shortlisted artworks are now available for auction online and accessible from around the world at https://hk.givergy.com/coloursofhumanity2022/?controller=lots&category=All%20Lots.
