Being Human Festival is coming to Hong Kong for the first time in Asia, led by HKUArts.

From 5โ€“15 November 2026, join us for eleven days of public events across the city and beyond โ€” workshops, walks, conversations, performances, exhibitions, shared meals, and more.

This yearโ€˜s theme: โ€Crossroads.โ€œ

Hong Kong has always been a crossroads: where cultures, languages, histories, and ways of life meet. More than a meeting point, crossroads is also where discovery begins, where ideas are exchanged and transformed, and where we are invited to pause, notice, and imagine otherwise.

Rooted in humanities research and created with local artists, makers, researchers, learners, and community partners, the festival invites us to encounter Hong Kong anew, through lived experience, evolving traditions, technology, inner life, and collective imagination.

Join us for a festival of the humanities that moves beyond campus and into the city, opening up spaces for reflection, connection, and shared encounters with Hong Kong and its communities.

Come curious, bring your questions and stories, and join us at Being Human Festival.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ5โ€“15 November 2026
๐Ÿ“ŒFull programme coming soon โ€” stay tuned!

โœจ Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! โœจ HKUArts wishes everyone a joyful festival filled with happiness and peace.

๐Ÿ“š HKUArts โ€” Fall 2026 Lecture Series โ€œSpiritual and Commercial Merchandise in the Global Catholic Network, 16thโ€“18th Centuriesโ€

Join us for a fascinating lecture by Prof. Ronnie Po-chia Hsia (ๅคไผฏๅ˜‰ๆ•™ๆŽˆ), Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of History at Pennsylvania State University, as he explores the intricate relationship between religion and commerce during the era of European maritime exploration.

Abstract:
Religion and commerce were inseparable in the era of European maritime explorations from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Using three examples, this lecture presents the commercial merchandise and spiritual objects that circulated from Europe and Latin America to China via the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and introduces the missionaries who facilitated that global exchange.

About the Film:
A series of deaths suddenly occurs in the city. Police officer Wong Ming realizes that at the scene of each death, there appears the figure of a woman who collects garbage. In the course of investigation, Wong discovers that this woman, Lan Pui Ching (played by Josie Ho), has the mysterious ability to collect the souls of the accidental deaths from the collected garbage and help these souls to enter reincarnation. This all started with a story that happened to her 13 years ago. Meanwhile, the murders continue to happen. Lan Pui Ching deduces that these murders are related to a mysterious cult ritual, and she and Wong Ming will be the next victims of this ritual. Wong Ming decides to cooperate with Lan Pui Ching to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Directed by the Pang brothers, Danny Pang and Oxide Pang, this 97-minute film is a powerful blend of supernatural horror and crime, debuting worldwide at the 30th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. It was also selected as the Midnight Section Opening Film at the Bangkok International Film Festival. The Mage will be officially released in Hong Kong cinemas on 8 October 2026.
