由 First Wish Art Gallery 主辦的本次展覽，匯聚來自世界各地的藝術家，以中華文化中象徵智慧、力量與蛻變的神龍精神為靈感，深入探索傳統與現代、靜默與表達、身份與自由之間的微妙平衡，展現當代藝術在全球語境下的多元視角與文化對話。

This exhibition, presented by FIRST WISH ART GALLERY (@firstwishartgallery), brings together artists from around the world to explore the delicate balance between tradition and modernity, silence and expression, identity and freedom—drawing inspiration from the ancient spirit of the Dragon in Chinese culture, a timeless symbol of wisdom, power, and transformation.

About Hong Kong Fringe Club: Founded in 1983, Hong Kong's Fringe Club has been a vibrant arts hub for over 40 years. Its predecessor was the old Dairy Farm Cold Storage Depot—once a well-known landmark in Hong Kong. The building was later boarded up and faced demolition, before being renovated into the Fringe Club as it stands today. Currently, it provides exhibition and performance venues for local and overseas emerging and professional artists, and creates an open platform for them to showcase their works.​

Committed to open access, the Fringe Club advocates for artistic freedom, integrating creativity and art appreciation into daily life. Food and drinks are also available on-site to encourage connections among visitors and creators. Housed in a repurposed 1890s colonial building, it has garnered notable recognition: it won the 2001 Hong Kong Heritage Award, was designated a Grade-1 heritage site in 2009, and received the 2018 HKICON Conservation Award.​
