Themed around the ghost character \u201c\u5f41\u201d, this pseudo-character, born out of mis-transcription, symbolises the creative journeys from inspiration to materialisation, which have always been shaped by happenstance. A departure from the conventional Chinese \u201cread-as-it-appears\u201d approach, this pseudo- character has been given a new interpretation and pronunciation \u2013 Gone \u2013 symbolising the graduands\u2019 imminent departures from university as they set off on their own paths. Although the themes of the annual exhibits vary, the artworks come together to form a new language in the exhibition space. Visitors are invited to come to this serendipitous convergence of inspiration and savour the unique stories behind each graduand\u2019s journey.<\/p><p aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Details of HSU AAD Annual Exhibition \u201c\u5f41\u201d<\/b><\/p><p>Date: 30 May \u2013 14 June 2025<\/p><p>Time: 12:00 PM \u2013 7:00 PM (Monday to Sunday, including public holidays)<\/p><p>Location: N12, Cattle Depot Artist Village, 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, Ma Tau Kok, Kowloon<\/p><p>Event website:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u><a id=\"OWA312b49a7-f1a4-e520-917c-a91eb56b6640\" class=\"x_x_OWAAutoLink\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"https:\/\/aad.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/aad-annual-exhibition-2025\/\" href=\"https:\/\/aad.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/aad-annual-exhibition-2025\/\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"4\">https:\/\/aad.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/aad-annual-exhibition-2025\/<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/p><p>Tickets: Free of charge<\/p><p aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/p><p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f3a7c1c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f3a7c1c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4498080\" data-id=\"4498080\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42e2c38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"42e2c38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AAD-Annual-Exhibition_Photo-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AAD-Annual-Exhibition_Photo-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AAD-Annual-Exhibition_Photo-1-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">SyntaxError: Human, an interactive installation by Adeline Lam, explores the traditional mindset versus breakouts.
