The exhibition features artworks of various mediums, including painting, photography, poetry, prose and art pieces in digital form. This year, in its very first edition, the exhibition explores the theme of identity and space. The exhibition shows 19 artworks created by 16 student artists from MALCS.
Step into a world where identity, memory, and modernity intertwine. MALCS Graduate Show 2025 brings together a vibrant constellation of creative projects, each exploring the shifting boundaries between self and society, tradition and transformation, the physical and the virtual.
Through photography, painting, film, literature, and digital media, these works invite you to reconsider the spaces we inhabit—both within and around us. From poetic diaries of insomnia and surrealist meditations on cultural duality, to evocative portraits of Hong Kong’s cinematic icons and the ruins of post-industrial cities, each piece is a meditation on belonging, alienation, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
Personal narratives illuminate the fluidity of gender and the power of costume, while documentary and illustration capture the resilience of diasporic journeys and fading traditions. The paradox of digital connection and emotional isolation is rendered in vivid color, as artists traverse the liminal zones between the real and the imagined.
Together, these works form a dialogue across time and space—between past and present, East and West, memory and modernity. They invite us to reflect on how we shape, and are shaped by, the spaces we occupy, and to find resonance in the complexities of the human experience.
