The exhibition was put on to celebrate the work of artist and Holocaust survivor Sara Atzmon, and was hosted by the University of Hong Kong. The event was sponsored by the local Jewish community and the Israeli consulate in Hong Kong. Atzmon's work will be on display until the beginning of May.

The opening ceremony aroused great interest in the local media, which eagerly interviewed Atzmon, who traveled from Israel to be there.
