Presented as part of the Henderson Arts @ Central programme, which runs through March 2024, the exhibition is supported by Women in Lighting and showcases a collective of eight multidisciplinary women artists from diverse cultures, who have each forged visionary paths in their use of light as an artistic medium. The exhibition will take place on the street level of H Queen’s, G/F, 80 Queen’s Road Central, previewing on International Women’s Day, Friday 8th March and open to the public Saturday 9th March - Saturday 6th April 2024. 

As a prelude to the highly anticipated opening of The Henderson building in Fall 2024 the exhibition embraces the explosive, interplay of fluid form and light characteristic of Zaha Hadid’s artwork and space design, and found at the heart of Zaha Hadid Architects’s design for The Henderson. Featuring innovative visual art, sculptures, moving image works, and digital installations by internationally celebrated and emerging light artists; Chila Kumari Singh Burman (British Indian), Carla Chan (Chinese), Jacqueline Hen (German), Sarah Lai (HK), Betty Ng / COLLECTIVE (HK), So Wing Po (HK) Raha Raissnia (b. Tehran) and Liz West (British). The exhibition takes as its starting point ZHA’s inspirational design for The Henderson and the legacy of Hadid’s visionary interdisciplinary practice, her challenge to conventional perceptions, and her multi-sensory exploration of light and spatial connectivity.  Collectively the works inspire inclusion and push boundaries for women creatives across disciplines, transforming an empowering legacy into a vision for the future. 

展覽作為The Henderson Arts @ Central計劃的一部分，將持續展出至 2024 年 3 月。 展覽獲Women in Lighting鼎力支持，呈現了八位來自不同文化背景的跨學科女性藝術家的作品，她們在將光作為藝術媒介的過程中各自開闢了富有遠見的道路。「聚光：傳承到未來」展覽位於皇后大道中80號H Queen’s地舖，預展日在3月8日（星期五）三八婦女節當天揭幕，並於3月9日正式開放予公眾參觀，展期至2024年4月6日（星期六）。

萬眾期待的The Henderson將於2024 年秋季開幕，作為揭幕前奏，本展覽體現了哈迪德藝術作品和空間設計中，流體形態和光線特性之間激烈的相互作用，這亦是扎哈．哈迪德建築事務所設計The Henderson的核心所在。展出一眾國際知名及新銳燈光藝術家的嶄新視覺藝術、雕塑、動態影像作品及數碼裝置，包括：Chila Kumari Singh Burman（英籍印裔）、卡娜（中國）、Jacqueline Hen（德國）、黎卓華（香港）、吳家瑩/COLLECTIVE（香港）、蘇詠寶（香港）、Raha Raissnia（生於德黑蘭）和Liz West（英國）。展覽始於哈迪德為The Henderson所作的啟發性設計，以及哈迪德富前瞻性的跨學科實踐、對傳統觀念的挑戰、對光線和空間連結性的多感官探索所留下的遺產。 這些作品激發了跨學科女性創作者的包容性，並推動了她們的創作，將充滿力量的遺產轉化為對未來的憧憬。
