Step into a playground — where no one asks how high you can climb, how fast you can run, or how far you can fly.

‘Cross All Borders’ proudly presents the multimedia music theatre ‘Sonic Topographies’ — a fusion of music, movement, and multimedia art that creates a boundary-breaking immersive experience. Inspired by the idea of a playground, this production redefines freedom and exploration. There are no standard answers here; only personal feelings and unique paths. On stage, performers of diverse backgrounds and abilities co-create side by side. No one is merely a symbol; every individual presence is an indispensable part of the performance. You are not stepping into a purely observational performance, but rather a dynamic, live space of continuous creation and mutual response.

Artistic Director Keith Lam uses installations and visual projections to craft a fluid stage space, transforming the playground into a massive musical instrument. Physical bodies, visuals, and sounds are no longer presented as independent elements. Instead, they interact and co-create in real-time, continuously responding to the live rhythm and energy of the venue —allowing sound to be seen and turning the body into an instrument. Music Director Chris Cheung reshapes traditional folk music and Dishui Nanyin, weaving them together with original compositions. Through the interplay of acoustic instruments and electronic soundscapes, he explores the possibilities of cross-genre fusion with the erhu, constructing a boundless sonic landscape.

Inclusive theatre has been one of our key performing arts initiatives in recent years. This production also brings together a number of ADAHK’s artists, while providing comprehensive Arts Accessibility Services to ensure that people of all abilities can enjoy the performance without barriers. As we approach the significant milestone of ADAHK’s 40th Anniversary, we are delighted to invite you to participate and enjoy an enhanced theatre experience and join us in celebrating this meaningful occasion.

ADAM is pleased to present ‘A Fantastical World of Colour,’ the debut solo exhibition by ADAHK’s artist Aaron Ngow. Featuring a collection of works inspired by forests, trees, skies, and natural landscapes, the exhibition invites viewers into a vibrant world that moves between reality and imagination. Aaron’s series reimagines nature through bold and expressive colours, creating an immersive visual journey filled with emotion and imagination. Some works draw inspiration from the imagery of the ‘Jewelled Trees’ described in the Infinite Life Sutra. For Aaron, every colour holds equal value and expressive power. Through the coexistence, contrast, and harmony of colours, his works become a visual reflection on diversity, inclusion, and coexistence. We warmly invite you to step into Aaron’s fantastical world and experience the endless possibilities woven through colour.

Exhibition Period: 10 July – 21 August 
Opening Reception: 10 July (Friday), 3:00 – 5:00 PM
Address: ADAM Art Space, Unit 10B, Gold Swan Commercial Building, 438–444 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay

‘Cross All Borders 2026: Hong Kong Competition of Showcasing New Visual Artists with Disabilities’ Winners’ Exhibition was recently held at 15/F The Showcase, Hong Kong Arts Centre. The exhibition showcased 33 award-winning works selected from a pool of 532 entries. Featuring a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, ink art and digital art, the exhibition highlighted the creativity, artistic vision and talent of emerging artists with disabilities.

The Award Presentation Ceremony and Artist Sharing Session, held during the exhibition period, provided an opportunity for award recipients to celebrate with their families and friends and to share the stories behind their creative journeys. Through these personal reflections, audiences gained a deeper understanding of the inspirations, ideas and emotions embodied in the artworks.

‘Cross All Borders 2026’ provides a professional platform for emerging artists with disabilities to showcase their talents, while fostering greater public appreciation of inclusive arts and bringing more inspiring creations and stories to wider audiences.

Following the successful conclusion of the ‘ArtWorks - The Path to Becoming an Artist’ Final Exhibition, ADAHK invited the renowned artist Pak Sheung-chuen to lead a creativity exchange workshop. Through his extensive artistic practice, he shared valuable insights with participating artists and explored creative possibilities together, inspiring them to broaden their artistic horizons.

ADAHK has long been dedicated to nurturing artists with disabilities. This event provided a platform for in-depth exchange, enabling artists to learn about diverse contemporary art practices and creative perspectives while inspiring new ways of thinking. Looking ahead, we will continue to curate diverse activities that support artists in exploring new possibilities across various artistic fields.

The ‘Inclusive Art Ambassadors Scheme,’ sponsored by the Labour and Welfare Bureau, promotes inclusion through the arts while supporting artists with disabilities in developing their professional skills and expanding employment opportunities. In June, the Scheme presented a series of six mini concerts with artist sharing sessions, where six artists connected with audiences through live performances and personal storytelling.

Through music spanning diverse styles and genres, the artists shared their personal growth journeys, educational experiences, creative insights, and the role music has played in overcoming life’s challenges. Through these heartfelt stories and inspiring performances, the events not only showcased the artists’ professionalism and creativity but also offered the public a deeper appreciation of their artistic talents, passion, and resilience.

The Scheme will continue to present more arts events, providing opportunities for artists with disabilities to showcase their talents and share their artistic journeys with the community. Stay tuned to our latest updates.

The inaugural Charity Art Competition 2026 Awards Ceremony was successfully held on 27 June. We were honoured to have Dr Hon. Hoey Simon Lee, MH, JP, a Member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as our officiating guest. We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr Yim Yuk-lun, SBS, BBS, JP, Chairman and Managing Director of S.A.S. Dragon Holdings Limited and President of The Hong Kong Justices of the Peace Association; Mr Chan Kin-ping, BBS, JP, Vice President of the Association; and Mr Li Hon-hung, BBS, MH, JP, also Vice President of the Association, for attending the event. Judges Mr Shen Ping and Ms Judy Inn were also present to present awards to the winners and celebrate this joyful occasion.

Before the ceremony, the champions, first runners-up, and second runners-up from all categories collaborated with artists with disabilities, Apple Tong and Teresa Ho, to create a large-scale artwork. Dr Hon. Hoey Simon Lee, MH, JP, Dr Yim Yuk-lun, SBS, BBS, JP, Mr Chan Kin-ping, BBS, JP, and Mr Li Hon-hung, BBS, MH, JP, also contributed to the final brushstroke of this collaborative piece. This act symbolises the collective effort across various sectors to promote inclusive arts  and to complete this meaningful creation.

To conclude the event, emerging artist with disability, Sharon Choi, performed a song that offered musical blessings to all participants and supporters, providing a perfect end to the ceremony. A selection of award-winning works was exhibited on-site, allowing guests, parents, and participants to admire the creativity of the winning entries. The award-winning pieces, along with the large-scale collaborative artwork, will later be displayed at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, giving the public an opportunity to appreciate the dedication behind these creations.

On the afternoon of 25 June, applause echoed through the lobby of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Organised by the Arts Accessibility Services team at ADAHK, over 20 people with visual impairments and their companions attended a guided tour of the ‘School of Theatre & Entertainment Arts Graduate Exhibition 2026.’ Upon learning that the Academy ranks first in Asia and tenth globally in the QS World University Rankings (Performing Arts), the participants could not help but applaud in appreciation.

The group then entered the Drama Theatre, where Audio Description and a Touch Tour were provided. They highly praised the creative set and costume designs, as well as the meticulously crafted costumes, props, and scenic paintings. ‘This costume deserves the “Best Award!”’ exclaimed Ah Fung, admiring a men’s Rococo court gown. ‘Aside from the exquisite hand-sewn golden embroidery on the lapels and cuffs, the inner garment (waistcoat) also has jacquard patterns!’ (Photo 1). Following the tour, participants enjoyed a hands-on experience adding lace embellishments to bonnets (Photo 2).

Since signing a Memorandum of Understanding in 2019, ADAHK and the Academy have closely collaborated to promote inclusive arts. This event serves as yet another testament to their partnership.
