Following the spirit of Ripple Effects in 2024, which highlighted how individual actions ripple outward into wider societal dialogues, this year’s Colours of Humanity 2025: Pool of Resonance continues the conversation with a quieter, deeper resonance. Many submissions carried a heightened sense of intention and complexity, speaking to a growing maturity in how artists and community organisers are navigating the urgencies of our time.

In a year again shaped by transition and transformation, Colours of Humanity 2025 brings together a group of artists and community practitioners whose practices embrace care, reflection and action in the service of human dignity. Through an open call across the city, we invited proposals that examine the contours of inclusion, belonging, and identity within Hong Kong’s social and cultural fabric.

This year’s finalists include painters, photographers, performers, and social organisers—many of whom draw from lived experience to pose questions about equity, memory, displacement, and renewal. Their works respond to both personal and collective needs, creating space to care for others while imagining different futures.

Some projects focus on intimacy, tracing the shape of grief, the textures of everyday rituals, and the quiet accumulation of emotional labour. Others confront structural barriers, creating new grounds for solidarity, accessibility, and mutual care. Together, they form a network of voices, offering new modes of engagement.

In assembling these stories, we do not seek resolution but resonance. How do we speak across differences, how do we gather responsibly, and how might art remain a site of both reflection and mobilisation?

Artists: Alex Huda, Arianna San Pedro, Chu Hoi Ding, Yvonne Feng, Florence Lam, itit Cheung, Jeeyun Kim, Jodie Luk, Kelvin Au, Louise Wan, Marina Kniazeva and Sergei Kniazev, Ngo Chun Phoenix Tse, Rhenea Diclas, Rico Lau, Siufa Yu, Thomas Fung, Tianyi Zheng, Veron Wei, and Yau Kwok Keung.
