The Opening Ceremony of Ink Global 2021 was held on 28 December. HKSAR Chief Executive Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, HKMU President Prof. Paul Lam Kwan-sing together with other guests were invited to officiate at the ceremony.

After the ceremony, HKMU students introduced their work to the Chief Executive. Mrs Lam also posed for a photo with the student of “goldfish ink painting” presented by AR technology in front of the work.
