The Director-General of the London ETO, Mr Gilford Law, addressed the audience before the lecture. He highlighted Hong Kong’s unique status and strengths under “one country, two systems”, as well as its vibrancy in keeping people engaged in various dynamic ways all year round.
“Located in the heart of Asia, Hong Kong has always been a place where tradition and innovation co-exist, and where Eastern and Western cultures converge. In our development into the East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange as underpinned by the National 14th Five-Year Plan, our strength truly comes from our artists, particularly their ambition, belief, creativity, dedication and energy,” Mr Law remarked.
Chan is a world-renowned jewellery and sculpture artist. He is best known for pioneering the use of titanium in jewellery and large-scale sculptures. His innovation in craftsmanship includes the Wallace Cut invented in 1987 and The Wallace Chan Porcelain, which is a ceramic material five times harder than steel. Before his lecture in Copenhagen, he launched the exhibition “Wallace Chan: The Wheel of Time” in early September at Christie’s headquarters in London, featuring 150 pieces of jewellery, six titanium sculptures, and one of the largest cut black diamonds in the world. In September, Chan also delivered a guest lecture at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The exhibition showcases about 30 pieces of traditional and contemporary crafts, created by artisans and craftsmen from Hong Kong.
Mr Law also hoped that audience could feel how Hong Kong’s culture and heritage is preserved through the artworks made with artisans’ hearts and hands. He also encouraged the audience to visit Hong Kong and explore its vibrant arts and cultural scene.
This is the third year London ETO supported Crafts on Peel to participate in the London Craft Week, which is an invaluable platform for Hong Kong artisans to reach out to audience in the United Kingdom. The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A Museum) has acquired “Red Leaves”, a bamboo craft work by Hong Kong contemporary artisan Ms Lau Mei-yee, after the work was shown in “Imagine the ‘Im’possibilities: Bamboo” exhibition during the London Craft Week 2021, which was also sponsored by London ETO. The work is currently on view in the V&A Museum’s East Asia Collection.
The “Hearts & Hands: Crafts of Hong Kong” exhibition takes place in the Royal Society Of Sculptors (108 Old Brompton Rd, London SW7 3RA) from May 8 to 21. During the exhibition, Hong Kong artisans will host workshops and live demonstrations on bamboo and wood craftsmanship.

With the support of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, London, the Copenhagen Dragon Boat Festival 2023 was held on June 18 (Copenhagen time) in Copenhagen, Denmark; and the 2023 UK Chinese Dragon Boat Festival was held from June 17 to 18 (London time) in Manchester, United Kingdom (UK).
In the Copenhagen Dragon Boat Festival 2023, 24 teams formed by the Danish community took part in a full day of racing. In addition to spectating the exhilarating competition on the water, sports enthusiasts and families immersed themselves in the culinary and musical highlights by the shore of Copenhagen.
The Director-General of the London ETO, Mr Gilford Law, delivered a virtual speech at the opening ceremony, highlighting that dragon boat racing dates back more than 2000 years, and since Hong Kong held the first international dragon boat competition in 1976, it has developed into a truly global event.
Mr Law added, “We are glad to see that the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival which has been inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2009, is also celebrated in Denmark. This festival is equally popular in Hong Kong. The 2023 Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races will be held next weekend at Hong Kong’s famous Victoria Harbour, with over 160 teams formed by locals and overseas friends. This event demonstrates Hong Kong as a dynamic hub with a unique fusion of tradition and modernity where Eastern and Western cultures seamlessly intertwine, and where we celebrate Eastern and Western festivals with equal enthusiasm.”
The festival was also celebrated in Manchester, UK, where over 55 teams participated in races of various categories during the two-day 2023 UK Chinese Dragon Boat Festival. The local community also took part in a series of cultural experiences by the shore, including Tai Chi demonstrations and Chinese calligraphy lessons.BDA London Moves to Larger Office; Poised for Accelerated Growth
