The Culture Lab was born in the context of the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world. International travel continues to berestricted. International cooperation is difficult. 2020 remains a challenging year for everyone, especially for artists.

The project is expected to encourage local creative artists to present and try out new works, as well as to strengthen the cohesion of artists and art lovers to turn the rest of the year as an opportunity for inspiration for everyone.

Currently, the Culture Lab is introducing music projects, performances and discussions which are held every Monday night. Art projects here are supported with venue, and the costs of production, engineering, communication, installation and organisation.

All attendees are asked to disinfect, wear masks and keep their distance from each other to ensure the requirements of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control.
