Published on 7.22.25
This summer's exhibitions in Hong Kong are showcasing the work of young artists exploring identity and tradition through their art. The "Art Actions: Our Youth Our Future" exhibition at Hart Haus features three Hong Kong awardees, including Elsa Ngai Se-ngaa, who received the Hart Award for promising artists from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Ngai's works, Transformation I and Transformation II, are inspired by ancient murals in the Mogao Caves in China's Gansu province, a cultural reference that has gained popularity among Hong Kong artists.
