With the Sun, She Quells the Night – A Tribute to Rebecca Pan is dedicated to the Hong Kong cultural pioneer whose career spans across entertainment, music and art, and who continues to inspire emerging talents today. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist herself, the exhibition rejuvenates archival materials through a variety of display methods and combines the historical material with the contemporary art of today. Together, the integrated exhibition experience places into dialogue the past and the present, Rebecca and us.

From young girl to self-assured star, impressionable entertainer to original artist, daughter to mother – each turn of the exhibition presents a defining moment of transformation in Rebecca’s multi-dimensional life. We begin with her formative years in 1930s Shanghai, arrival to Hong Kong in the 1940s, international music career of the 1950s and 1960s, landmark projects of the 1970s, through to her continued dedication to bring tradition to wider audiences today. In the making of this legendary figure, Rebecca reveals herself as someone who is creative, honest, at times uncertain but above all courageous – one who has lent a resonating array of emotions, experience and materials for contemporary interpretation.
