HSBC, in partnership with Grey Hong Kong, has launched a series of colorful community murals across all 18 districts of Hong Kong to mark HSBC’s 160th anniversary.
Each mural was painted by a local artist and captures the distinct identity of its district, from dragon boat races in Stanley to nostalgic cafés in Yau Tsim Mong. The murals are intended to celebrate the stories, textures, and character of Hong Kong, bringing new life and local pride to neighborhoods throughout the city. The campaign worked with five local artists, including AAFK (Anny and Felipe), Fever, Peck, and Sinic, to bring the distinctive identity of Hong Kong’s districts to life.
Grey and HSBC worked together to turn previously blank walls into vibrant public artworks, with each piece reflecting a unique aspect of its community.
“This project has given us the chance to create something lasting with a brand that’s always been part of Hong Kong’s history,” said Duffy Lau, Managing Director, Grey Hong Kong. “These murals aren’t just art. They’re 18 new reasons to explore, discover and connect.”
To make the murals accessible to everyone, HSBC and Grey collaborated with the Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong (ADAHK) to produce audio descriptions for all 18 walls, ensuring each mural’s story and details can be experienced equally by sight or sound.
” As part of our Bank‘s 160th anniversary, we wanted to extend the campaign to our communities, collaborating with local mural artists to reflect the unique culture of each of our 18 districts,” said Cheuk Shum, Head of Marketing, Hong Kong, HSBC.
“We look forward to seeing all of you on social media with our mural art in the background.”
The campaign worked with five local artists, including AAFK (Anny and Felipe), Fever, Peck, and Sinic, to bring the distinctive identity of Hong Kong’s districts to life.
From an ash-brushed fire dragon in Tai Hang to a glow-in-the-dark mural in Central, each wall reflects a living, breathing city in motion. More than artworks, they became shared stories between HSBC, the community and the culture of Hong Kong.
“Street art was something I grew up with, so it’s exciting to see how it now brings people together,” said Rick Kwan, Executive Creative Director, Grey Hong Kong.
“This project gave us the chance to honor each district in a meaningful way. In Tai Hang, we even sourced the incense ash from the actual fire dragon to paint the mural, turning tradition into texture and history into something you can see and touch.
