T8 Northeast Signal issued at 12:20am At midnight, Wipha was about 280km east-southeast of Hong Kong. Image courtesy of the Observatory The Observatory issued the Number 8 Northeast Gale or Storm Signal at 12:20am on Sunday, as Severe Tropical Storm Wipha intensified into a typhoon and edged closer to Hong Kong. At midnight, Wipha was about 280km east-southeast of Hong Kong. It was forecast to move west or west-northwest at about 25km per hour towards the coast of Guangdong, and move "rather close to the vicinity of the Pearl River Estuary". Local winds were expected to reach gale to storm force on Sunday, with frequent heavy squally showers and thunderstorms, the Observatory added. "Depending on the distance between Wipha and Hong Kong, and the change in local wind condition, the Observatory will assess the need for issuing higher tropical cyclone warning signals Sunday morning," senior scientific officer Lee Shuk-ming said. Members of the public have been urged to pay attention to the latest weather information from the Observatory and complete all precautionary measures as soon as possible. KMB and Citybus said overnight services would be suspended from 2am onwards. The MTR announced it would arrange four extra departures for the Airport Express at 1:15am, 1:45am, 2:15am, and 2:45am to take passengers to the city. In terms of cross-boundary travel, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge will close at 3:30am, while shuttle buses between Lok Ma Chau and Huanggang Port will continue to provide limited service. Classes of all day schools and child care centres will be suspended on Sunday, the Education Bureau said. The Trade Development Council said the ongoing Book Fair, Sports and Leisure Expo, and World of Snacks in Wan Chai will be suspended. If the Number 8 signal is lowered at or before 4:30pm, the fairs will reopen within two hours.

Kochi Biennale Foundation screens ‘The Leopard's Tribe'
KOCHI: The Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF) screened the acclaimed documentary film, 'The Leopard's Tribe', on Wednesday evening. Directed by Miriam Chandy Menacherry, the 39-minute documentary essays the acquisition of the Aarey forest area adjoining the bustling Mumbai for building a metro car shed. It focuses on development versus conservation, and talks about environmental protection through the inhabitant tribal community. For the original population of Aarey in Goregaon, renowned for the Sanjay Gandhi National Park called the 'Lungs of Mumbai', the big cat is their god of daily worship. Even so, the forest belt is being destroyed for a facility to maintain and repair the local trains that form the core of the megacity's surface transport. The film pans out the message that sustainable construction activities can go hand-in-hand with economic rise and social well-being. KBF showed the film in Edappally, amid the active participation of Kochiites. The screening at the Kerala Museum comes five months ahead of the sixth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) by the KBF.

Sixth edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale titled ‘For the Time Being', to get under way on December 12
The sixth edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB), organised by the Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF), will be titled 'For the Time Being.' Curated by artist Nikhil Chopra with HH Art Spaces, a Goa-based artist-led organisation, the biennale will run for 110 days, from December 12, 2025, through March 31, 2026. Curatorial framework The KBF also announced the curatorial framework for KMB '25. Alongside the international exhibition, the biennale will feature a diverse programme of talks, performances, workshops, and film screenings, unfolding across various sites in Kochi. Key programme verticals include the Students' Biennale, Invitations, Art By Children, the Residency Programme and the Collateral. The curatorial note by Nikhil Chopra states that the sixth edition of the KMB will embrace process as methodology and position 'friendship economies' as the very scaffolding of the exhibition. Moving away from the conventional biennale model of a singular, central exhibition event, the sixth edition is envisioned as a living ecosystem 'one where each element shares space, time, and resources, and grows in dialogue with each other,' a release issued here said. KBF Chair V. Venu said the biennale, over its past editions, has consistently risen in stature, attracting artworks from both celebrated and emerging talents from India and abroad. 'Organising such an event needs meticulous planning and strategies. We have introduced important organisational changes in the Kochi Biennale Foundation and we are confident to make a grand success of the sixth edition of the biennale. For both commoners and connoisseurs, it will offer a dynamic experience,' he was quoted as saying in the release. Bose Krishnamachari, president of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, said that Nikhil Chopra's emphasis on durational exhibitions and performances will be a highlight of the sixth edition. 'Those visiting the biennale will be introduced to an immersive atmosphere, featuring spectacular artworks and site-responsive installations. The event will also offer abundant opportunities to engage with artists and fellow art enthusiasts, and witness the layered cultural life of Kochi, a city where global and local currents converge and diverge all at once,' he said.
