The diversity of visual expression adds to the creative legacy indelibly woven into the city’s cultural mosaic and fills the community with enthusiasm for future. Confluence • 20+ brings pioneering design talent from Hong Kong to share their philosophy and endeavours inspired by local traditions and heritage, as well as their creative visions across multiple latitudes and culture.

Speakers

– Freeman Lau, graphic designer with close connection to local aesthetics and social psyche.
– Lo Kai Yin, jewellery designer/art historian whose contemporary creations endeavour to meld and reinterpret the cultural heritages of the East and West.
– Julie Progin and Jesse McLin, experimental ceramic artists whose projects follow a consistent conceptual path to capture, document and present a moment in time and place and explore such issues as the flaws of mass-production, the relationships between human and objects, nature and industry.

Join us at this designers’ sharing to learn more about their creative passions and design research journeys.
