HK2024

In June, fourteen UWE students from BA(Hons) Graphic Design, Illustration, and Fine Art visited the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), following a visit to Bristol by HKDI students in May. Together with designer and lectuer Marco Ugolini, we travelled to Hong Kong, where we organised a series of workshops, didactic visits, and field trips to local museums and cultural centres for both groups of students. These activities facilitated cross-cultural conversations, offering students the opportunity to reflect on both differences and shared values between the two contexts. A selection of photographs, artworks, and reflections can be found on: typenowhere.com/hk2024. The project culminated in an exhibition at Bristol Local, showcasing outcomes from the exchange and shared insights into visual culture and art education.

A big thank you to Sandra Wong, Vincent Lee, Wayne Lloyd, and Patrick O’Flynn for their invaluable support.
