Comprised of about 30 pieces, this exhibition demonstrates the interdisciplinary and multimedia nature of the artistic practices, featuring an eclectic mix of creative works by art professors, Masters and Doctoral students from UM’s Centre for Arts and Design and the Department of Communication. It includes contemporary ink painting, oil painting, watercolor, illustration, photography, ceramic, visual communication design, packaging design, autostereoscopic animation, digital art, video animation, and interactive installation.

«For centuries, Macau has been a cultural, technological and commercial meeting point for China and the West. Likewise, the postgraduate art and design education at the University of Macau aims to synthesize Chinese and Western artistic concepts, to incorporate arts and technologies, and strive to transcend the conventional boundaries between art and design. Creative explorations outline China’s rich cultural traditions and speak of a global language of the contemporary era», explains the artistic manifesto for this exhibition.
