The art exhibition “Somewhere, Someday: In Search of Home and Hope” is associated with the phenomenon of migration that shaped global human history. Migration is not only a geographical shift, but also a transformation of culture, language, memory, and selfhood. It also alters identities and challenges the notions of “home.” The exhibited artworks capture the artists’ emotional landscape; they respond to the stories of displacement, identity and belonging. The artworks span borders and media, portraying the characteristics of hybrid cultural identity. The exhibition not only implies the concept of time and locality but also delivers positivity in hope.
Curated by Charles Wong, artists featured are: Po Lam Chan, Lesia Gutgarts, Cyrus Hung, Pavlo Kerestey, Jason Kwong, Olenka Naumenko, Cerena Parkinson, Wai Hang Siu, and Jimmi Wing Ka Ho.
'Door to Anywhere' - free create your own door craft workshops:
“Door to Anywhere” draws its inspiration from Doraemon, the well-known Japanese manga and animated series. In the story, the “Anywhere Door” is one of the futuristic gadgets used by Doraemon, a blue robotic cat who travels back in time to contemporary Japan. This device allows its user to open a door and instantly access any place they desire. In this thematic craft workshop, participants will create and decorate their own symbolic “doors,” using colour, texture, and personal motifs to evoke meaningful places, moments, and emotions. Just as Doraemon’s gadget enables travel to any destination, these handmade doors serve as creative portals—inviting participants to revisit cherished memories, reflect on their own journeys, and imagine the places they would choose to return to if they could step through a door to anywhere.
