🕯️Find a moment of stillness through ink, colour and breath as you co-create an artwork with artist Wang Xin.✨
Join ink artist Wang Xin and meditation specialist Monica Laura Smith for a two-part workshop that begins with guided meditation and moves into a collaborative ink session where the participants and artist together explore the transformative interplay of ink, water, brushwork and space.
🕯️在水墨與呼吸之間,尋回片刻寧靜,一同與藝術家王新共同創作水墨作品。✨
是次工作坊由水墨藝術家王新及冥想導師 Monica Laura Smith 帶領,先引導參加者練習冥想內觀,再透過共同創作的水墨作品,細察墨、水、筆觸與留白之間的流動與轉化。

UMAG Online Lecture Series (2025-2026) 💬 Lecture 4
Dissolved, disappeared, or transformed—the boom of avant-garde artists’ collectives in postwar Japan gradually waned after Expo ’70 in Osaka. Theorized, historicized, and institutionalized, the avant-garde became canonized as symbolically dead. Wei Sun’s talk explores what became of a “metabolic” art world that had lost faith in the avant-garde’s transformative potential, tracing its mutations and reappearances within the shifting conditions of 1970s Japan.

🗣️Speaker: Wei Sun, PhD candidate, Heidelberg University and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice 🗣️Discussant: Franziska Koch, Senior Lecturer, Transcultural Studies, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf

“The most important thing is to know what you want to do.”
You might not know what you want to do this weekend, but we have a feeling you’ll want to catch Zhao Hai Tien—Cultivation: 50 Years of Painting before it ends in just 3 weeks on 1 March 2026.
If you haven’t visited yet—or if you’re ready for a second look—this is your sign to come by UMAG before the exhibition concludes!
「最重要的就是自己知道自己要做什麽。」
你或許還未知道自己這個週末要做什麼,但我們相信,你一定不願錯過親身感受趙海天五十年筆墨心血的機會——《修持:趙海天繪畫五十年》展覽將於3月1日閉幕。
無論是一直想來卻尚未找到時間的你,或是已經看過、仍想再次細細品味的你,我們都在港大美術博物館,期待與你相遇。
