MA Wing Man
Born in Hong Kong, MA Wing Man is interested in creating space and experience to explore the fluidity of her works with people, often involving the participation of the audience. Part of her works use knitting as a major medium. By collecting, dismantling and reconstructing found objects, her works attempt to transform the relationship between objects and people and strengthen interpersonal connections. In recent years, she explores immediate exchanges between body and material to express her own spirit through performance. Her recent participated exhibitions in Hong Kong are “Colours of Humanity Art Prize”, Goethe Institut Hong Kong (2003); “Knitting Art Installation with Monkey’s Fists”, East Coast Park Precinct (2003); “Women at the End of the World”, Hong Kong Art Basel & HKBU Kai Tak Campus, Hong Kong (2003); “Beyond Environmental Arts Festival”, Bank of East Asia Tower, (2003) ; “Bubble Reveries” (Solo Exhibition), Wyndham Social (2003) ; “Togetherness: Two Pillar, One Shelter”, Wyndham Social (2005).

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.
