Every March, Hong Kong Arts Month fills the city with exhibitions and art events. This year, a few unusual trucks were parked in the courtyard of PMQ in Central: their bodies covered in vibrant murals, their cargo boxes turned into small exhibitions. This was “Art on the Move”, a new project at the 11th HKWALLS street art festival. As a logistics platform born in Hong Kong, GoGoX was honoured to take part, helping street art step off the walls and travel through the city.
Eleven Years of Street Art: HKWALLS and “Art on the Move”
HKWALLS is a Hong Kong non-profit arts organisation. Since 2014, it has held a street art festival every March during Hong Kong Arts Month, inviting local and international artists to paint on the city’s walls. The 2026 festival ran from 21 to 29 March, with more than 20 artists from 14 countries leaving large-scale murals around Central and Sheung Wan.
A mural usually stays where it is painted. This year HKWALLS launched “Art on the Move”, extending the canvas from walls to trucks: artists painted the truck bodies and brought their work inside the cargo boxes, inviting visitors to step into the artwork through themed exhibitions and interactive installations.

From Truck to Gallery: The Collaboration Behind the Art Trucks
More than 47,500 registered logistics partners on the GoGoX platform drive vans, 5.5-tonne and 9-tonne trucks through every corner of Hong Kong each day. Turning one of these everyday delivery trucks into a moving gallery took close teamwork between driver-partners, artists and the organisers:

- Recruiting driver-partners: In February 2026, GoGoX opened a call to driver-partners through the app, selecting 5.5-tonne trucks with no side doors so the artists could paint on an uninterrupted surface. In the end, 4 GoGoX trucks became “moving canvases”.
- An exhibition you can walk into: The cargo box of a 5.5-tonne truck is 12–15 ft long, 6 ft wide and 6.5 ft high — enough room for a small exhibition. Artists hung their work and set up interactive installations inside, and visitors simply climbed the steps to enter the artist’s world.
- Drivers and artists working together: Participating driver-partners did more than lend their vehicles. Before painting began, they could talk with the artists and shape the look of the truck together; where there was a language gap, the HKWALLS team helped them communicate.
- Art that moves with the truck: During the festival, the art trucks were first shown at PMQ, then moved to Chater Road in Central for the closing event. Afterwards, the artworks went back on the road with the trucks’ daily routes.
This collaboration between drivers, artists and organisers means art no longer belongs only in galleries and on walls — it travels the streets Hongkongers pass every day.
Ming Tse, Platform Director at GoGoX, shared what the collaboration means:
“‘Deliver Happiness’ is one of our platform’s core values. By partnering with HKWALLS, we connected our drivers with art to break the stereotype that logistics is rigid and dull. Turning ordinary trucks into eye-catching moving exhibitions not only shows the potential of trucks as a medium for art, but also lets the public see the artistic and diverse side of our driver community.”

Art Meets the City: Six Artists, Six Visions of Hong Kong
The six participating artists were Leho from Taiwan, Mooncasket from Hong Kong, Saïd Kinos from the Netherlands, Yubia from Spain, Japan-born, Hong Kong-based TAXA, and Awie from Canada. Each gave the trucks a different look in their own artistic language.
Leho | Seeing Hong Kong’s Wildlife
Leho put Hong Kong’s leopard cat and barking deer at the centre of his work, using animal forms and lines to highlight the nature beyond the city that deserves to be appreciated and protected. He shared on social media that he had wanted to come and paint in Hong Kong for three years, and this time he finally made it happen. After the festival, he described the truck as having been “released back into her concrete jungle”.
Mooncasket | A Moving Artwork Made Together
Mooncasket’s “In Good Company” turned the truck into a space waiting to be completed by everyone. Visitors could leave their own mark by drawing and become part of the work.
Saïd Kinos | Change and Constancy in the City
Saïd Kinos painted “change” and “constant” on the two sides of the truck, using bold colours and lettering to explore how change and constancy coexist as Hong Kong evolves.
Yubia | Bringing Sweetness and Colour to the Streets
Inspired by childhood candy culture, Yubia imagined the truck as a mobile sweet shop, bringing energy to the streets with soft colours and playful characters.
TAXA | Emotion and Creativity in Images
Through imagery of hands, faces, snakes and red chrysanthemums, TAXA expresses creativity, emotion and vitality.
Awie | Making Ordinary City Moments the Star
Awie combined graffiti with realistic portraiture to capture an ordinary commuter hurrying along with a coffee in hand, turning an easily overlooked moment of daily life into the star.
Get Creative: Take an Art Truck Home
PMQ was the festival’s hub. Alongside Mooncasket’s colouring workshop, HKWALLS and GoGoX ran free papercraft truck workshops for families, where participants drew their own designs on white paper models and built their very own mini truck.

Before the festival, GoGoX also ran an “Art Cheer” campaign on Threads, inviting local creators to share their work and offering ride discounts to help them transport artworks and get to market stalls in future.
Closing on Chater Road: Art Trucks Meet the Public
On 29 March, the festival closed in the Chater Road pedestrian zone in Central. The art trucks became moving exhibition spaces on site: visitors could step inside to explore the installations and see work by Yubia, Saïd Kinos and Leho, join Mooncasket’s monster mural, and watch TAXA and Awie paint live.

Supporting Local Art, Letting Creativity Move Through the City
GoGoX has served Hong Kong for more than ten years. Our driver-partners’ vans, 5.5-tonne and 9-tonne trucks run across the city 24 hours a day, helping individuals and businesses deliver goods and move, connecting destinations across Hong Kong. Beyond reliable logistics, we hope to bring creativity into Hongkongers’ everyday lives by supporting local artists and community culture.
This year’s festival has wrapped up, but the art trucks are still out on Hong Kong’s streets. Next time you spot one, take a moment to enjoy this moving piece of street art.
