🗺️The Danish-Hong Kong Connection: It All Starts with the Collections「丹麥程緣」：一切從藏品開始⭐

📆 Date: June 6, 2026 (Saturday)
🕑 Time: 6 pm - 8 pm
📍Location: Haven Brews | 222 Finch Avenue West Unit 10, Toronto, ON M2R 1M5

香港作為外向型港口，歷來華洋輻輳。來自世界各地的旅人與商賈在此交匯，留下了斑駁的歷史印記。其中，丹麥與香港的緣分已悄然跨越百多年，其間蘊藏著諸多鮮為人知的有趣故事。解構這「丹麥程緣」，講者將透過一系列珍貴藏品進行微觀解構。在貫徹「寓研究於娛樂」的精神之餘，引領聽眾重新認識這個既熟悉又陌生的北歐國度，從中窺探港、丹兩地深厚的歷史連結。

As an outward-looking port city, Hong Kong is a cultural crossroads of East and West, where visitors and entrepreneurs from all over the world have left behind fragments of history. Among them, Denmark and Hong Kong share a connection spanning over a century, likely harboring many fascinating stories. To deconstruct this "Danish–Hong Kong Connection," the speaker will use various collectibles to facilitate a brief exploration. Adhering to the spirit of "combining research with entertainment," this talk may help us gain a deeper understanding of Denmark—a place both familiar and yet unfamiliar to us.

Speaker: Dr. Kelvin K Chow 周家建

Seminar will be in Cantonese

【The Sound of Books 書之聲】 - 書本與音樂的跨界對話

這場音樂會以「書與歌」為主題，精選多首以書名命名、或與文學作品互相呼應的廣東歌，透過現場演唱、作品簡短導讀與故事簡介分享，帶領觀眾穿梭文字與旋律之間，尋找彼此的呼應。一首歌如何借用一本書的名字，一本書又如何在另一種聲音裡被重新想像，這是一場文學與廣東話的跨界對話。
