MAYAO

MAYAO is a space, an imagination, and an anaesthetic.

In the 21st century, Western anthropology posited a theory: “Art stems from witchcraft.” It’s believed that art cannot only awaken primitive emotions but also transport people into simulated reality. This ephemeral detachment from reality creates a state of spiritual unawareness. Anaesthetics and art share a similar transformative impact on people.

In today’s world, art serves as life’s anaesthetic. In an era filled with an overload of information, art helps people rediscover their most genuine, open-minded selves while embracing diversity and uncertainty. Based in Hong Kong, with a global vision of contemporary art, MAYAO showcases the harmonious interplay of different regional cultures, crafting an inclusive yet unique art platform.
