HKAS / RMIT Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduate Exhibition 2026 – Semordnilap

4 Jul – 20 Jul, 2026

Hong Kong Arts Centre

Explore the power of change. Start afresh from where it all began.

The Hong Kong Art School and RMIT University jointly present the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduate Exhibition 2026 adopts “Semordnilap” . A semordnilap is a linguistic phenomenon: a word that, when spelled or read in reverse, becomes an entirely different word. This reversal of meaning is a pivot. ‘Stressed’ turns into ‘desserts’, and ‘reviled’ becomes ‘deliver’.

This year’s graduation exhibition, “Semordnilap”, invites you to step into that gap. Come and encounter works that linger in a state of transition. Pause at the threshold where one reality draws to a close and another has yet to begin. In the inversion of perspective and the transformation of meaning, we search for the force of change, so that every ending may become the starting point of a new departure.

Here we ‘are’, re-imagining our ‘era’.

We warmly invite you to visit the exhibition and join the opening ceremony.
