‘Words from the Heart & their Interpretation’ – Liu Tung-mui Artworks Exhibition
The renowned local artist with disability, Liu Tung-mui (Tung Tung), started painting at an early age and has developed a strong personality and character, which garnered wide recognition and acclaim. Stepping into her third decade in the local art circle, Tung Tung published her latest autobiography, ‘Words from the Heart & their Interpretation’. Designed by the well-known local artist Stanley Wong (anothermountainman), this definitive collection is divided into eight chapters, documenting her growth, daily life, family and creative path, as well as nearly a hundred unpublished compelling paintings from 2008 to 2019.

‘Cross All Borders: Hong Kong Festival Showcasing New Visual Artists with Disabilities 2022’ successfully came to an end! Thank you for all your support!
‘Cross All Borders: Hong Kong Festival Showcasing New Visual Artists with Disabilities 2022’ held at L1 Gallery, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, came to a successful end. Guests, Adjudication Committee members, awardees and their companions gathered at the Opening and Prize Presentation Ceremony to congratulate all award-winning artists with disabilities.
This year, our exhibition showcased excellent artworks created by our artists and included an Art Experience Corner allowing visitors to sketch their ideas freely. Artists with disabilities took the role of docents and led the audiences to appreciate and understand more about each piece of unique artwork. Due to the pandemic, some might find it difficult to come to our exhibition in person. Therefore, we have prepared a 360° view of our exhibition, available in Mid-September, allowing visitors to virtually ‘wander’ through the exhibition area and enjoy a series of fantastic artworks up close.
