The Hong Kong Arts Centre Late Night Series 2024 - Art X held on April 13th 2024, featuring the exhibition Yokai Parade: Supernatural Monsters from Japan by Pao Galleries. With a focus on yokai, this event offers a series of nighttime art experiences to the public, providing a multidimensional understanding of yokai culture. The program includes two screenings of the film "Wicked Cities" followed by post-screening discussions, a LARP game, and three workshops: Yokai Mini Lantern Workshop, Yokai Wagashi Workshop, and Yokai Neonlight Workshop.
