Jockey Club Community Outreach and Arts Education Programmes:
Pablo Picasso in 2025
A discussion about 'The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation' and what this new exhibition adds to the continued re-framing of Picasso and what it means for M+ and MnPP.
What new stories emerge when Picasso is viewed through today’s cultural perspectives?
In this free talk, Cécile Debray, President, Musée Picasso-Paris, will explore the artist’s pivotal role in shaping modernism and post-modernism along with his lesser-known reception in Black American, Latin American, and African scenes. She will also delve into the more contentious aspects of his work that re-emerged with the MeToo movement and discuss the feminist and postcolonial viewpoints that inform exhibitions of his work today.
Doryun Chong, M+ Artistic Director and Chief Curator and the co-curator of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation, will give an overview of the exhibition and an introduction to the talk. Following the lecture, Debray will then be joined by Suhanya Raffel, M+ Museum Director, in a discussion about Picasso for Asia: A Conversation and what this new exhibition adds to the continued re-framing of Picasso and what it means for M+ and MnPP.
Exclusively sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the talk will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation available in Cantonese.
