The Department of Media, Arts, and Technology at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of USJ announces “EVERY 1”, the Graduation Show of the Bachelor of Communication and Media, a programme recognized by the Asia Education Review Magazine as a top-ranking course in Asia.
The event will have its opening on 15th May 2025, at 6:30pm in the Fátima Auditorium (USJ Green Campus) with a film screening, followed by the exhibition opening at 7:30pm in the Kent Wong gallery. The exhibition will then stay in the gallery until 30th May 2025. Everyone is invited to attend this event that promises to be an unforgettable evening that celebrates Macao, a city shaped by diversity and shared humanity.
During the film screening, we will present five short-films directed and produced by emerging local filmmakers: our students. These films offer intimate glimpses into the lives and stories of Macao’s people, capturing the spirit of connection in deeply personal ways.
The exhibition is an immersive and interactive experience that blurs the boundaries between art and technology. Featuring works by 14 graduate students of Communication and Media, it invites the audience to experience Macao’s communities through photography, film, and dynamic installations. These pieces don’t just tell stories – they invite you to participate, to reflect, and to connect. This exhibition is alive! It bridges tradition and innovation, art and technology, an invitation to step into the heart of Macao’s vibrant and harmonious spirit.
“EVERY 1” was inspired by the powerful words of Pope Francis, who reminded us that the Church – and by extension, our communities – are open to everyone. His call for inclusion and harmony resonates deeply in Macao. This exhibition honours that vision, celebrating both the beauty of togetherness and the value of each individual story within the collective whole.
The title “EVERY 1” holds layers of meaning. It speaks of unity, of “everyone” as a community bound by shared experiences and connections. Yet, it also emphasizes individuality – “every one” as a unique person with their own light and story. This exhibition explores that tension, where the universal and the particular meet, reminding us that the strength of the whole lies in valuing the distinctiveness of its parts.
