Ma Wing Man Mandy
Born in Hong Kong, Ma Wing Man Mandy is interested in creating spaces and experiences to explore the fluid connection between artworks and people, often involving the audience in her projects. Textile practices, especially knitting, are at the heart of her work. By collecting, dismantling and reconstructing found objects, she attempts to transform the relationship between objects and people while strengthening interpersonal bonds. In recent years, she has been exploring the immediate exchanges between body and material through performance art.
Ma’s recent exhibitions and displays in Hong Kong include Women at the End of the World, Art Basel Hong Kong and HKBU Kai Tak Campus (2023); Colours of Humanity Art Prize, Goethe-Institut Hongkong (2023); Flying Dragon by the Harbour, East Coast Park Precinct (2024); Beyond Environmental Arts Festival, Bank of East Asia Tower (2024); Bubble Reveries (solo exhibition), Wyndham Social (2024); and Togetherness: Two Pillars, One Shelter, Wyndham Social (2025).

Pop & Zebra
Pop & Zebra is an integrative design studio based in Hong Kong. It is a marriage of two diverse influences viz. Krupa’s childhood in Tanzania and Abhishek’s love for popular culture. Led by observation and research, Pop & Zebra’s work is conceptual with a strong emphasis on visual storytelling and playfulness. They love making things by hand and are constantly shapeshifting between art direction, print and product design, across analogue and digital realms. In between bouts of daydreaming about opulence, the design studio thinks of how to use ideas in breaking down barriers and create a world of honest conversations and active imaginations.
