The Art Museum of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) presents the exhibition “Celebrating the Year of the Rat” starting from 13 June 2020, demonstrating the rich meanings of rats in Chinese culture.

2020 is the Year of the Rat in traditional astrology. Belonging to the rodent family, rats are one of the oldest mammals in the world. Chinese literary references to the miniature nibblers are very often negative in nature. Nevertheless, as our close neighbour throughout human history, people also discover inspiration from some of their characteristics. For example, their strong ability to adapt and breed has become an auspicious symbol of prosperity.

This exhibition features over ten artifacts on rats and their relatives such as squirrels and bats from the Art Museum. Dated from as early as the Qing dynasty, the fine selection of exhibits covers a diversity of artworks including high-quality porcelain, ink stone as well as Lingnan paintings.

Design plays a crucial role in society in spheres ranging from industry, business and public policy to organisations, technology and the environment. It influences our communities, behaviours and lifestyles. From 5 November 2020 to 10 January 2021, Design Does* at HKDI Gallery will showcase a series of projects by international designers which seek to address topical issues and future challenges such as sustainability, ethics, connectivity, marginalisation, consumerism and innovation. This interactive exhibition will examine the responsibility inherent in the act of design and the designer’s multiple roles as a provider of solutions, humanist, strategist and agent of change.
The issues raised by each design project are intended to generate dialogue, encourage participation and build knowledge that will enrich the transdisciplinary practice of design.
