Ink Studio
Ink Studio is a meeting ground for cultures and minds to converge, where new conversations are born – a space where art speaks across boundaries, inviting us to delve deeply into who we are and imagine where we go from here. Here, artists, collectors, thinkers and businesses come together to explore and reimagine our shared stories and the worlds we create.

A Storytelling Series
November 2025
Together with Professors Feifei Zhou, Julia Chan and our Curator Annie Tsoi, we launched our Storytelling Project for the Ink Meditation Room at the Lingnan M+ Campus.
With an enthusiastic group of MADES students (Master of Arts in Digital English Studies), we have been diving deep into the boundaries of culture, intercultural experiences and dialogue, the impact of storytelling and visual arts. All while taking the road less travelled, moving from writing in a non-native language, to embracing digital tools to expand our spaces of expression while feeling inspired by Chinese calligraphy.
