On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of our university’s founding and the 5th anniversary of the University Arts Centre, we welcome the biennial campus art and cultural event - the 4th Culture & Arts Festival "CATS" (Culture Arts Technology & Science). This season's activities have officially kicked off on October 12. It encompasses visual art and performing art. Taking art as a bridge on campus, it connects with everyone.

 

On October 15, the Culture & Arts Festival, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Poetry Festival Foundation, will launch a special project titled "The Margin of the Mother Tongue"—IPNHK 2024 (VR poetry + sharing session) .

Through virtual reality technology, you will be immersed in panoramic poetry, allowing you to freely navigate between words and images, and to seek "the beginning and the end" in the virtual and the real!
