Hong Kong Art School / RMIT University Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduation Exhibition 2026: 'Semordnilap'

Highlights

'Semordnilap' refers to a word that spells a different, valid word when read backwards. This concept of semantic reversal forms the creative core of this year's graduation exhibition, inviting visitors to pause at the threshold where realities shift and meanings transform. It is an exploration of reversed perspectives and the power of change, marking the intersection between the end of one chapter and the start of another.
