［對談］歲月留痕：尋找香港的城市靈魂

Step into a nostalgic visual journey with Simon Go (Founder of Hulu Culture) and Paul Chan (Co-founder of Walk in Hong Kong) as they uncover the shifting face—and enduring spirit—of our city.

Guided by the mid-century lens of Miroslav Šašek’s 1965 masterpiece This is Hong Kong, this conversation explores how the city’s landscape, traditions, and intangible culture have transformed across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. Simon will also share rare insights into Šašek’s historical collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Association and the commissioned works that followed his iconic book.

Through a rich display of photography, historical storytelling, and personal observations, Simon and Paul invite you to reflect on the traces of yesterday that still shape Hong Kong’s identity today—bridging Šašek’s vibrant 1960s illustrations with the living, breathing character of the city we call home.

A guided walk-through of "This is M. Šašek" follows the talk for those interested in seeing how history, travel, and visual storytelling converge.

跟隨文化葫蘆創辦人吳文正（Simon Go） 及活現香港共同創辦人陳智遠（Paul Chan），踏上這趟充滿懷舊色彩的視覺旅程，一同探索這座城市不斷演變的風貌與歷久常新的靈魂。

對談以薩錫克（Miroslav Šašek）1965 年的經典繪本《這就是香港》（This is Hong Kong）為起點，帶領大家橫跨港島、九龍至新界，細味香港城鄉風貌、傳統文化與非物質文化遺產的變遷。Simon 更會分享薩錫克當年與香港旅遊協會（HKTA）合作的珍貴歷史，以及其出版成名作後獲委約創作的一系列作品。

結合豐富的攝影作品、歷史故事與個人觀察，兩位講者將帶領大家穿梭古今，從薩錫克筆下 1960 年代躍動的色彩，對照當代香港的人情風物，一同尋覓並拼湊出那些依然深植於香港本土身份中的歲月痕跡。

對談後將有《從前，有個薩錫克》展覽導賞，誠邀你留步，細味歷史記憶、旅途足跡與視覺敘事交織的微妙魅力。
