HONG KONG, Jun 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) (Stock Code: 2778), owner of Three Garden Road and Langham Place, has partnered with “My Lupus Diary” (MLD), the first multimedia lupus awareness organisation in Hong Kong, and Eaton Club, a premium coworking space providing venue support, to present “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition at its properties. The exhibition features the original artworks of lupus patients, expressing their journey in facing physical and emotional challenges via the universal language of art. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of health, diversity and inclusion. The exhibition features diverse artistic expressions including photographs, paintings, headdresses, and installation art pieces for public viewing. A highlight piece is a warrior armour made from two months' worth of medication taken by one of the patients, symbolising how lupus patients, despite requiring long-term medication, remain strong warriors in their battle against the disease.Champion REIT has long upheld the principles of physical, mental and spiritual health and sustainability, fostering long-term partnerships with the community hoping to harness the synergies from cross-sector collaboration to create a shared social environment. As the principal sponsor of the exhibition, the Trust not only provides a creative platform for patients to express themselves, but also helps enhance public awareness and care for those suffering from rare diseases, as well as fulfilling its corporate responsibility to promote social inclusion.The “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition features the artistic creations of nine lupus warriors, who showcase their emotional transformation, struggles, and growth through various artistic approaches. A highlight of the exhibition is an art photography series co-created by MLD and four well-known Hong Kong models - Janet Ma, Angie N, Ana R and Amanda S. The models wear headdresses created by the lupus patient, symbolising strength and transformation, visually representing the inner resilience of those living with lupus and inspiring society to reframe how it perceives patients’ unique experiences and the value of life.Ms Sapphire Shen, MLD founder, said, “Our three founders are all lupus patients. We hope to use art as a bridge to break down social stigma and misunderstanding, so that society can truly understand the challenges patients face and the courage they afford, thereby helping build a more empathetic and inclusive society.”Earlier on May 10 – World Lupus Day, a series of educational talks on the latest lupus treatments and awareness-raising events were hosted at Eaton Club, Three Garden Road. Building on this successful launch, the art exhibition was officially unveiled to the public at Three Garden Road in May and has been moved to the Langham Place Office Tower in June. A special sharing session will be held on 8 June, where founder Ms Sapphire Shen and the participating models will engage with visitors and patients to share their experiences and stories. In recent years, the Langham Place Office Tower has actively promoted the “6 Dimensions Wellness” concept, a new ecosystem with physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual and financial wellness as its core, providing tenants with a comprehensive physical, mental and spiritual health support platform. Langham Place also launched the “6D Wellness” YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@6dwellnesslp) in line with that strategy, inviting professionals and guests to share practical health information every week, injecting positive social value into the community.Ms Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “We firmly believe that sustainable business development is inseparable from close community engagement and mutual growth. Thus, the Trust has always prioritised physical, mental and spiritual health, and sustainable development as its core strategies, and has been active in building long-term partnership with the community to promote inclusion and social collaboration. As the venue sponsor of this art exhibition, we hope to offer a platform for different groups to express themselves and gain understanding, allowing more diverse voices to be heard. We will continue to give back to society with concrete actions and contribute to building a more inclusive, harmonious and healthy social environment.”In recent years, the Trust has actively collaborated with various social organisations to create shared value and achieve mutual success for all parties. It held the first “ESG Week” in 2024, partnering with stakeholders to host activities on climate resilience, social innovation and sustainable living. It has also teamed up with the Fullness Social Enterprises Society to invite local social enterprises showcase innovative solutions addressing social issues, and promote social inclusion, cultural diversity, and cross-sector collaboration. To reinforce its ESG commitment, the Trust will hold its annual flagship event “ESG Gala” in late July this year, featuring a broader range of activities co-created with partners to uphold the core values of physical, mental and spiritual health, while amplifying the voices of diversity and inclusion across the society."Lupus Reimagined" 2025 World Lupus Day Art ExhibitionPublic ExhibitionVenue: Lobby, 5th Floor, Langham Place Office Tower, 8 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, KowloonDate: 2 June - 30 June 2025Time: 09:00 - 20:00 (Monday to Sunday)Public Sharing SessionVenue: Lobby, 5th Floor, Langham Place Office Tower, 8 Argyle Street, Mong Kok, KowloonDate: 8 June 2025Time: 12:30 - 17:30 (Sunday)Photo caption:Connecting the community through art, Champion REIT organised the “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition at Langham Place Office Tower, featuring the original artwork of lupus patients.The “Lupus Reimagined” Art Exhibition features the artistic creations of nine lupus warriors, who showcase their emotional transformation, struggles, and growth through various artistic approaches.
