Covid-19 has forced schools and universities to close their physical classrooms. Many students continue to learn through online classes. But for visually impaired students, the situation brings extra challenges. The Beyond Vision Projects, a social enterprise that designs tactile teaching materials, is helping to overcome some of those challenges.

With two of the main events in Hong Kong’s Art March cancelled due to the coronavirus, some galleries are rearranging previously planned showcases. The De Sarthe gallery, which originally intended to show works by Hong Kong-based artist Andrew Luk and post-war master Chu The-chun at Art Basel, is now exhibiting them in their Ap Lei Chau space. “Shifting Landscapes” showcases sculptural installations in which Andrew Luk’s large-scale suspended orb-like objects explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world. On the other side of the gallery, Chu The-chun’s expressive brush strokes integrate traditional Chinese landscape painting techniques with Western abstraction.

The four-member indie band Mr Koo got together in New York. As their roots were in Hong Kong, the band members eventually came back here. Focusing on a mixture of surf rock and blues, the band released its debut EP, “Tropical Weather” in 2017. They also released a new single at the end of March. They’re here to tell us more.
