**Interview with Alice Wong, Curator of Hong Kong Art Toy Story 2024**
**Editor**: Thank you for joining us today, Alice. Can you tell us what inspired the Hong Kong Art Toy Story 2024 event in Jakarta?
**Alice Wong**: Thank you for having me! The inspiration behind Hong Kong Art Toy Story 2024 comes from the vibrant art scene in Hong Kong and its potential to influence creativity in Southeast Asia. We wanted to showcase the talent of our local artists, both established and emerging, and share our unique culture through the medium of art toys.

It’s about creating dialogues and connections through a medium that resonates with many.
