Emerging Design Talents 2023: Embrace

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) is hosting an annual Emerging Design Talents exhibition with the theme “Embrace” until 8 September 2023 to showcase various innovative design projects by its graduates. The exhibition not only demonstrates graduates’ professional design capabilities but also how they incorporate traditional culture with innovative technology in this multicultural era, emphasising the elements of “inclusion” and “acceptance” to improve human life and promote social sustainability.

The exhibition gathers over 500 pieces of designs from graduates across areas such as Architecture, Interior and Product Design, Communication Design, Digital Media, Fashion and Image Design, and Jewellery Arts and Design, among others. As part of its efforts to cultivate outstanding young design talent and leaders, the Advanced Design Studio (ADS) programme by HKDI is launching the metaverse themed project “MetaDI” and the “Play Culture” game design project promoting multiculture this year. On 24 June 2023, the public is cordially invited to participate in the “Game Day for Play Culture”, where they can try out the giant Kowloon City-themed Monopoly and Hong Kong athletes-themed card game “Sports Battle GOGOGO”, and experience the charm of “Embrace” of multiculturalism first-hand. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive exclusive souvenirs and continue the artistic atmosphere in their homes.
