With Hung Keung, The Education University of Hong Kong
In this guest lecture, Professor Hung Keung reflects on the realities of developing and sustaining an artistic career across academic, cultural, and international contexts. Drawing on his experience as both a media artist and university professor, he discusses how artists identify opportunities, secure research and creative funding, cultivate professional networks, and navigate exhibitions, commissions, and collaborations across borders. Using selected projects from his acclaimed Digital Ink practice as case studies, Hung explores how artists can balance creative experimentation with professional growth, adapt traditional cultural influences to emerging technologies, and build a distinctive artistic identity in a rapidly changing global arts landscape. Students will gain practical insights into career pathways, international residencies and fellowships, exhibition strategies, and the opportunities and challenges of maintaining a cross-disciplinary creative practice.
