1600 Pandas World Tour in Hong Kong: Creativity Meets Conservation

29 April 2014

By Natalie White

After touring France, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Taiwan and nearly 100 exhibitions since 2008, the 1,600 paper-mache panda sculptures by French artist Paulo Grangeon will make their conservation statement in Hong Kong for the first time.

1,600 represents the number of pandas left in the wild.

Made from recycled materials each measuring 30cm in height, the pandas will be on display for one month in flashmob-inspired style at the Hong Kong International Airport, Tian Tan Buddha, Tsing Ma Bridge, Shatin Racecourse, Victoria Park and Ocean Park before heading to and marking the opening of design and high-end entertainment complex PMQ in June.

Launched in 2008 by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to raise awareness on environmental and endangered species conservation, the worldwide tour has made stops in more than 20 countries around the world and the arrival in Hong Kong marks its second visit to Asia, after Taiwan.

Funds raised via the project will be donated to WWF Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong initiative is organized by PMQ and curated by creative firm AllRightsReserved.
