With early March bringing a chilly touch and the promise of a rainy weekend to Hong Kong, it may be tempting to throw your plans out of the window and stay at home.

However, the city offers a mix of cosy and engaging activities this weekend to draw you outside – head to a gallery for a thought-provoking art exhibition, celebrate International Women’s Day with empowering cocktail creations, or watch a science fiction film from an Oscar-winning director.

Though the skies may be grey, we hope our suggestions for a fulfilling weekend provide a silver lining.

1. Adrian Wong X Doris Wong: The Trivial Sublime

Two artists take the meaning of life and the act of caring for yourself and others as starting points for their joint exhibition at SC Gallery in Wong Chuk Hang, on Hong Kong Island.

Doris Wong Wai-yin, an art historian and multimedia artist, is showing work created through “Pastel Nagomi Art” – a type of healing art that forces slow, focused creation to relax and de-stress. Her works make references to art history and explore themes of motherhood and nurture.

Meanwhile, Adrian Wong combines his deadpan humour with the stress of juggling multiple roles as father, professor and artist in his works, which are inspired by his interactions with his children.

Adrian Wong X Doris Wong: The Trivial Sublime, SC Gallery, 1902, Sungib Industrial Centre, 53 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang, Tuesday-Saturday, 11.30am-6.30pm. Until April 5.
