The exhibition opening will take place at the Kent Wong Art Gallery at the USJ Ilha Verde Campus, Estrada Marginal da Ilha Verde 14-17, Macau, at 6.30 pm, Friday 1st of June. The FCI GRADUATION SHOW will be exhibited until June the 30th, 2018. The collective exhibition groups the three departments of the Faculty of Creative Industries (the Department of Architecture, the Department of Design and the Department of Communication and Media), with three different exhibitions subthemes: “Macau Elements: Bamboo, Iron and Light”, a photo/video exhibition by the Communication and Media students of the University of Saint Joseph;“In(com)possible Design”, a Product/Furniture/Graphic design exhibition by the Design students of the University of Saint Joseph; and “At the Mong Ha Foothill”, an architecture exhibition by the Architecture students of the University of Saint Joseph. The students' finalist works will be exhibited through the University Campus in three specific places: at the Kent Wong art gallery; at the main entrance of the University will be installed the “X-PEAX Bamboo Pavilion”; and at the Design Studio on the sixth floor. “Macau Elements: Bamboo, Iron, and Light”: a photo/video exhibition by the Communication and Media students of the University of Saint Joseph, Macau. Talented students of the Communication and Media Department at the University of Saint Joseph have selected a collection of their finest photo and video samples of Macau from their recent project classes to showcase the city. Based on their Autumn 2017 explorations of Macau, this exhibition and coming roadshow blends youth with vitality and the perspective of an evolving globalized city—with a contrast between its past, present, and future. Bamboo symbolizes ancient wisdom of China—even though bamboo is used to construct the new Macau on many new buildings. Iron symbolizes the constant construction of the city—as well as elements of its past. Lights illuminate cultural spaces of old village lamps to flashy resorts—and the contrast of the shadows in between. Music comes to life in the selection of student video shorts. Professor José Manuel Simões, Department Head of Communication and Media at the University of Saint Joseph said: “This exhibition displays the grasp that illuminates our students' potential side-by-side with their capacity for deep learning, within the context of our society.” Professor Simões added, “I believe that this exhibition demonstrates the technical and practical topics covered by the Bachelor Communication and Media program, ranging from audio-visual production to digital publishing techniques, reflecting upon the entire range of modern platforms. The main focus of our program is on how people use messages to generate meanings placing our students at the forefront of the contemporary information society.” “In(com)possible Design”: A Product/Furniture/Graphic design exhibition by the graduate Design students of the University of Saint Joseph. Students were asked to develop their Graduation Projects under the theme of “In(com)possible Design”. The theme encompasses design projects that relate to the idea of developing compatible and consistent design products, where the two main concepts such as “impossible” and “compossible” are brought together. To be “incompossible” means to be unable to exist if something else exists, to be incompatible, inconsistent or not capable of joint existence. The “composability” is a philosophical concept defined by the German Philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646 – 1716). It has a logical sphere more restricted than that of logical possibility. Out of Leibniz's theory, the notion of “compossibility” can be simply defined in the following way: two possible are compossibles if they are possible at the same time. Impossible design is possible, should it be in(com)possible? The Design Graduation Project is a full-year project that brings to completion the students journey on the Design Bachelor. Professor Carlos Sena Caires, head of the Design Department said: “ These works should be used as a catalyst for the students’ endeavors after their graduation. Students should look for their design assets and where they see themselves working in the future, and use this knowledge to help in the development of their design concept and production of their design project.” “At the Mong Ha Foothill”: An exhibition showcasing the graduation projects by architecture students from the University of Saint Joseph. This year, the projects focus on Macau’s Mong Ha area, and are intended to revitalize the cultural and industrial heritage of this area while enhancing the relationship between citizens and the Mong Ha hill. Students recorded and diagrammed tangible and intangible elements, using techniques of relational indexing to convert both static and dynamic conditions into a set of maps. Each student then selected a site, defined a program, and set a research theme for an architectural design project that is consistent with their theoretical and practical interests. While responding to the current environment of Macau, these projects address a broad range of themes relevant to local conditions: educational buildings, disabled care, public service, knowledge repositories, sports facilities, tourist attractions, environmental sustainability, and so forth. These are comprehensive integrated design projects that demonstrate a sound understanding and mastery of aesthetic, functional, material, structural, cultural, and urban issues. At the same time, each design is a manifestation of the individual student’s conception of architecture. Collectively, these speculative propositions for the future of the city are an exciting demonstration of the talent and commitment of the next generation of Macau architects. “X-PEAX Bamboo Pavilion”: Designed and built by the University of Saint Joseph thirdyear undergraduate students, the X-PEAX pavilion is a temporary structure located at the entrance of the USJ Campus. Taking a nodal fixed-angle joint inspired by traditional Chinese joinery as starting point, the pavilion works with standardized modules and a rotational transformation to create an inspirational walk-through form. By applying advanced digital design techniques to vernacular construction materials, the pavilion is intended as a link between Macau’s historical building culture and contemporary cityscape. Celebrating the completion of the first academic year at the new Green Campus, it complements the end of year exhibition by USJ Architecture graduate students."

To culminate the Life Science module, a field visit to the Wetland Park in Hong Kong was organised for the Pre-University Students of USJ last Thursday, 17th May 2018.

The visit reinforced the students’ knowledge and understanding of the function and values of wetland ecosystems. They had the opportunity to observe, in the field, diverse wetland habitat types including streams, freshwater marshes, reedbed, mangroves, mudflats and wet agricultural land, all of which provide very importance ecosystems services. It was a long and hot day around the 61-hectare park but definitely an eye-opener and a meaningful learning experience about the value of our natural environment.

By imaginary, I intend that clutch of phrases, images and beliefs which make up the commonly held understanding we have of a group or community (be it an ethnicity or a nation, our own or someone else’s) which dictates the way we perceive it or them. Thus far, this Western imaginary of China has been globally dominant. However, in the 21st century, ‘China’, whose shape and form and categories we in the West  invented and maintained, is starting to escape us. The ‘China’ we have created, that we have imagined, that have dreamt up and of which we have dreamt, the China that frightened us as well as fascinated us, has slipped out grasp. We no longer have sole control over it; just as the West’s dominance over the world’s economy has waned, so has its ability to impose the planet’s global story. But before attempting to take stick of today’s China, we need to apprehend where that China has come from.   ABOUT THE SPEAKER Gregory B. Lee 利大英 is an academic, author, and broadcaster.

On 27th April, USJ launched its 2018 International Cultural Fair and Languages Day ceremony at the new Ilha Verde Campus. The new USJ senior management team, presided by Rector Prof. Fr Peter Stilwell and composed of Vice Rector Prof. Vincent Cheng Yang, Vice Rector Prof. Álvaro Barbosa, Administrator Lavena Cheong and Registrar Prof. Jenny Lao Phillips attended the ceremony together with the deans of faculties and nearly one thousand professors, staff, students and people from the local community. The event was prepared and organised by the university’s Office for International Relations and Regional Cooperation, together with the Faculty of Humanities and the Office for Student Affairs, with generous sponsorship from the Macau Foundation and the Coca-Cola Company.

The event showcased the great diversities of cultures. USJ students, professors, staff and alumni from over 40 countries and regions showed their national costumes in a parade on campus, performed folk dance on the stage, set up cultural booths with typical gastronomy tasting. They fully demonstrated the unique features of internationalisation and multi-cultures of USJ. Since the first USJ International Cultural Fair in 2010, the University has put up seven such annual events. The events aim to encourage USJ students and staff to learn more about other cultures in the world, at the same time, provides them with an opportunity to share and enjoy the features of cultures in their countries or regions. USJ students and staff come from over 50 different countries. This has prepared the ground for the success of the Cultural Fairs. Additionally, this year the Cultural Fair was combined with the USJ Languages Day, which demonstrated the unique features of the English-Chinese-Portuguese trilingual learning environment of the university.  According to its management, USJ is an international university which uses English as the means of instruction and internal communication, and requires all students to study Chinese and Portuguese.
