Avidyās Journey Continues in Hong Kong

News

Curation

Exhibition

Following its successful London debut, we are honoured to bring “無明?明?” (Avidyā? Vidyā?) to the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre — a continuation of our heartfelt collaboration with The Oneness Gallery and the artist Avidyā.

As Noran Design’s second curatorial project for this exhibition, returning to Hong Kong feels especially meaningful. It’s not only a homecoming, but a chance to share this deeply personal journey with a new audience — in a city filled with energy, contrasts, and quiet reflection.

A Private Opening, a Shared Moment

The exhibition opened with a private preview, where guests gathered for an intimate evening of conversation, art, and shared curiosity. With thoughtful catering and warm faces, the event created a space where people could not only view the work — but feel it.

One of the most moving parts of the evening was witnessing how deeply the art resonated. Seeing visitors touched, some even emotional, reminded us why we do what we do. In a city as fast-paced as Hong Kong, holding space for reflection and vulnerability felt incredibly special.

Curator’s Note

“It is my honour to collaborate with The Oneness Gallery and Avidyā for the second time after the London exhibition.
In simple terms, this exhibition unfolds through the themes of ‘Dark’, ‘Light’, and ‘Childlike’.
In our journey through life, we often navigate periods of darkness before enlightenment, emerging renewed like a phoenix into the light. Ultimately, we realise that authenticity, uniqueness, and the playful innocence of childhood are paramount.”

Nicole Fung, Curator

About the Exhibition: 無明?明?

Rooted in the duality of Avidyā (ignorance) and Vidyā (clarity), this exhibition isn’t about answers — it’s about the experience of awakening. Through three symbolic chapters — Avidyā offers a space to sit with our emotions, honour our transformation, and reconnect with joy:

A Message to Our Visitors

“I hope this exhibition gives you a bit of sparkle, inspiration, and reflection.
As you step out of the gallery, may you feel rejuvenated, ready to view the world as a vast canvas on which to paint your own story.”

With Gratitude

Our sincere thanks to:

  • The Oneness Gallery, for their continued vision and belief in the healing power of art

  • Avidyā, for trusting us with their debut and sharing their heart with the world

  • All the guests and supporters who attended the Hong Kong exhibition

  • The team at Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, for providing such a beautiful home for this second chapter

From London to Hong Kong — and Beyond

“無明?明?” reminds us that while darkness is part of life, so too is light — and we carry both within us. Whether you joined us in London or Hong Kong, we’re grateful to walk this journey with you.
