Titled \u201c21g\u201d, this year\u2019s exhibition draws inspiration from the classic early-20th-century experiment,\u00a0<i>\u201cThe Weight of the Soul\u201d.<\/i>\u00a0Through artistic creation, students express\u00a0their own \u201c21g\u201d, exploring their inner selves in the process and reflecting on\u00a0the enduring value of life.<\/p><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">The exhibition showcases a\u00a0diverse range of artistic practices across multiple media, including animation, installation art, architecture and landscape design, documentary, photography, and painting. Each work represents\u00a0the creator\u2019s unique \u201c21g\u201d, carrying personal thoughts, reflections and individuality. As these young artists prepare to enter society, they perceive the world through art and convey\u00a0their inner\u00a0voices\u00a0through creation, leaving a precious and distinctive artistic imprint as they begin a\u00a0new stage of life.<\/p><p class=\"x_elementToProof\"><b>Details of HSUHK the Department of Art and Design Annual Exhibition \u201c21g\u201d:<\/b><\/p><table class=\"x_elementToProof\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"><tbody><tr><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">Date:<\/p><\/td><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">16 May \u2013 30 May 2026<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">Time:<\/p><\/td><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">12:00 nn \u2013 7:00 pm (Monday to Sunday, including public holidays)<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">Venue:<\/p><\/td><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">N12, Cattle Depot Artist Village, 63 Ma Tau Kok Road, Ma Tau Kok, Kowloon<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">Visitor Registration:<\/p><\/td><td><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">Please complete the registration in advance if you would like to visit the exhibition on-site.<\/p><p class=\"x_elementToProof\">Registration Link:<a id=\"OWAc557ed6f-d817-24a4-e72b-1a9067e2d9e2\" class=\"x_x_x_x_OWAAutoLink\" title=\"https:\/\/aad.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/aad-annual-exhibition-2026\/\" href=\"https:\/\/aad.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/aad-annual-exhibition-2026\/\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"4\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/aad.hsu.edu.hk\/en\/aad-annual-exhibition-2026\/<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><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-e62d6f4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e62d6f4\" 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-85f60ee\" data-id=\"85f60ee\" 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-250032f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"250032f\" 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=\"899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AAD-Graduation-Exhibition-2026_Photo-1-1140x1709.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AAD-Graduation-Exhibition-2026_Photo-1-1140x1709.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AAD-Graduation-Exhibition-2026_Photo-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AAD-Graduation-Exhibition-2026_Photo-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.hsu.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AAD-Graduation-Exhibition-2026_Photo-1.jpg 1280w\" 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\"><i>Wax & Wane<\/i>, an installation by Sean Chan, draws inspiration from left-handedness to explore how left-handed individuals often adapt themselves to fit into a right-handed-dominated world.
