About the Theme 'Transitions'

The meaning of Transitions is the process or period of changing from one state or condition to another.

Our lives are marked by many transitions — physical transitions around birth, adolescence and puberty, life before and after childbirth, ageing and death, which touch many of us if we are lucky enough to live long. But there are other markers too, societal ones, around which transitions occur, like entering kindergarten, school or university, first jobs and then job hopping, moving out from our childhood homes to rent or buy our own homes, dating, getting engaged and married, having children, moving home and sometimes country, getting divorced.

Not all of us have yet or will ever tick off each of these but the ones we do define our lives and our perceptions of ourselves and, often, the way we’re seen by others.

Just as we are going through personal transitions, so too is Hong Kong imbued with them. World city that it is, it bears witness to our personal transitions daily, and it is also party to its own.

In these days of ever-increasing Woke-ism, and the resultant censorship both of self and of others, art is an essential conduit to re-energise the stultified and channel our attention inwards to contemplate the things that are profoundly affecting us.


Judging Panel

We are pleased to have the involvement of the following judges to determine which of our 10 participating Artists will receive the 'Being Neighbourly Creativity Award': Bert Bulthuis of STUDIO SITEC, Vivian Ho of the FindArt App, and Pete Ross and Kyra Campbell, acting as one vote, from the HK Arts Collective.
