Nouvelle Notions of Nostalgia 「新たなる望郷」

Symbols transcend time, reflecting the values and ideals of the societies that create them.

Nouvelle Notions of Nostalgia explores these enduring symbols through the cultural

intersection of Hong Kong and Japan, reimagining concepts of victory and legacy in a

contemporary context.

The exhibition juxtaposes inspiring figures from Hong Kong and Japan with the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, deconstructing her iconic image and examining the multifaceted nature of triumph. Is fame synonymous with victory, or is legacy defined by what is left behind?

Through the histories of Hong Kong and Japan, we uncover how victory is redefined:

Hong Kong, a convergence of Eastern and Western cultures, embodies victory not in

domination but in coexistence and cultural evolution. Japan, shaped by postwar recovery and economic growth, demonstrates that endurance and the transmission of culture are triumphs in their own right.

At PMQ, where Hong Kong’s history and creativity converge, this exhibition invites you to

reflect on how symbols shape memory, identity, and our collective understanding of history.
