International Media Students’ Joint Exhibition: "KNOT 매듭 結.識"

BA(Hons) in Digital Media presents the “Knot” – a joint exhibition that showcases student works from three schools from Korea (BCU), Hong Kong (PolyU), and China (STI) at the PolyU campus in Hong Kong. These highly accomplished projects embody and encapsulate their learning experiences from the three distinct programs. Through this exhibition, we hope to create a platform for fostering conversation among students from different cultural backgrounds. 

As the title ‘Knot’ suggests, the contemporary comic book-making world is not only expanding but also becoming increasingly interconnected. Despite so much diversity, preserving unique voices remains a priority. We believe that, during the course, interconnections are forged through remaining vulnerable to each other and the sensibleness of our choices. Therefore, the knots we choose to form reveal the future we hope to make. 

Collaborating schools:

PolyU Design
BA(Hons) in Digital Media offered by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design aims to produce idea driven content designers regardless of their disciplines. It rights the paradigm of confusing creativity based on ideas with fabrication based on technical know-how. With this in mind, students are also taught the necessary technical, entrepreneurial and analytical skills in order to become self-learning and self-enabling for the successful execution of a given creative idea. 
The programme facilitates personal growth in students through self-discovery, self-discipline, self-analysis and self-learning. Encourage independent thinking, successful positioning and inventive creation through contextual awareness, imagination, collaboration and knowledge application. 

Baekseok Culture University
The Department of Webtoon and Animation at Baekseok Culture University seeks to cultivate creative talent in global cartoons and animations.
