Art Exhibit

Home: Heartbeat Is the Only Distance - Opening Reception Date: 18 April 2026 Venue: HART HAUS 4/F Time: 15:00-17:00 Address: 4/F, 12P Smithfield Kennedy Town (Kennedy Town MTR Exit A) I’m definitely going and will take my daughter! Do join us! The exhibition is organised by Academy of Visual Arts (AVA), the School of Creative Arts (SCA), and the Centre for Innovative Service-Learning at Hong Kong Baptist University. Curated by 18 undergraduate students from the course of Curatorial practice (VART4126) at AVA and in collaboration with HART HAUS and The Lok Sin Tong Benevolent Society, Kowloon, the exhibition features the creative practices of 10 artists and students. The showcased works derive from intimate dialogues between the creators and their family members, capturing profound emotions that often remain unspoken in the rhythm of daily life. Together, AVA students also initiated several collaborative workshops in March and at the opening on 18 April, that led to creating an interactive artwork together with children from the age of 5 to 12 and their family as well as the public, that further integrates the essence of "Home" into the community, fostering a deeper connection between art and society. Home is never merely a unit defined by physical boundaries. It is a web woven from people and objects, memory and routine, intimacy and friction. The distance that truly matters is the closeness between hearts. The heartbeat defies the world's measure of distance. When it races, it becomes longing; when it stills, it finds peace. Even when it stops, the connection remains—transformed into a new rhythm that lives within our memory, our bodies, and our very identity. Geography and mortality may pull us apart, but the heartbeat remains the ultimate proof of presence. This exhibition explores a concept of home that transcends physical space, viewing it as an active psychological vessel rather than a mere subject. It holds memories, unconditional support, and complex contradictions, forming a sense of belonging that is rewritten over time. Here, the audience encounters not a singular definition, but a collection of personal responses to home as the emotional and existential origin of the artists' lives. We sincerely invite you to visit our exhibition!
