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

In the 20th century, Western anthropology posited a theory: “Art stems from witchcraft.” It’s believed that art can not only awaken primitive emotions and transport individuals into a simulated reality. This ephemeral detachment from reality, a state of spiritual unawareness, paved the way for the modern usage of hallucinogens. Anesthetics and art share a similar transformative impact on people.

In today’s world, art serves as life’s anesthetic: in the era filled with the overload of cross-contexts, multimedia information, art helps us rediscover our 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.
