2. Art Jammin’ and Breast Examin’
Women-led run club She Runs Collective is partnering with The Hive’s Phenomenally Pink campaign to host a session of art and breast examinations in honour of Pink October – an annual global event to raise awareness of breast cancer.

This Saturday, join an art session to paint and connect with others, and undergo a breast ultrasound and manual assessment courtesy of the medical diagnostic imaging centre SonoExpress.
Tickets cost HK$450, and attendees can choose to have the breast exam conducted at the co-working space The Hive or at its partner clinic. Details and registration are available here.

3. Small Muji miniature art exhibition
The “Small Muji” miniature art exhibition has officially debuted at Muji Windsor House.
The exhibition is organised by Muji and curated by renowned photographer and mitate artist Tatsuya Tanaka. Mitate is a Japanese art technique and philosophy based on playful allusions and reinterpretation, and Tanaka’s exhibition transforms everyday Muji products into 16 storytelling miniature artworks.

Admission is free, and viewers can browse Muji products afterwards, from Muji drawers to clothing and make-up products used in the artworks.
B/F, Windsor House, 311 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay
4. Ha Man Kee Noodle Shop x French Wine Tasting
Aroma Wine Bistro is collaborating with beloved local restaurant Ha Man Kee to create a fish ball and French wine tasting.

As part of the tasting on October 11, crispy Cantonese classics including fish blocks, wontons, dumplings and deep-fried fish balls will be served with a sophisticated variety of white, red and sparkling wines.
The event takes place from 3pm to 6pm. Tickets are available via Aroma’s Instagram page and cost HK$298 per person.
Aroma Wine Bistro, Lee Garden 3, 1 Sunning Road, Causeway Bay
5. Tron: Ares
Tron returns with a third instalment in the series that began in 1982 with a film that showcased cutting-edge visual effects of the time to tell the story of a computer programmer who was pulled into his own software.


The 2010 sequel, Tron: Legacy, was something of a disappointment, despite featuring one of the great film soundtracks of the 21st century by Daft Punk.
Tron: Ares flips the original on its head. Instead of a programmer finding his way into the “digital frontier” inside his software, the program comes out into the real world.
In this case, Ares – the “master control” code – takes the physical form of actor Jared Leto. Designed by unhinged tech CEO Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters), this sophisticated AI soldier is meant to be the next step in cybersecurity.
But Ares only lasts 29 minutes before disintegrating. Dillinger needs to find “the permanence code”, something his rival game designer Eve Kim (Greta Lee, Past Lives) is also seeking. Read our full review.
Tron: Ares is in cinemas now.
