「墨城」旨在開拓水墨藝術的視野，立足於現時的社會、政治及美學所關注的問題。參展藝術家都基於當代生活的切身感受而獲得創作靈感。他們往往面對勢不可擋的都市發展，日常生活又時刻發生小衝突小磨擦，只好借助藝術作品，表達其敏銳觀察及精到意見，有時甚至會對當代文化及社會進行解構。
「墨城」所囊括的藝術家，代表了整個時期面臨社會轉變而構成的集體敘事：其中有些故事講述了殖民時代結束之際，身為香港人的獨特觀感，既要適應回歸後的情況，又要應付全球日益緊張的局勢；另一些故事則涵蓋了散居四海的華人，對於性別身份、慾望和幻想的社會經驗，如何彼此產生共鳴。

INK CITY sets out an expanded vision of ink art firmly grounded in current social, political, and aesthetic concerns, featuring artists inspired by immediate encounters with contemporary life. Often caught between an overwhelming urbanism and intimate brushes with everyday life, the artists offer keen observations, commentaries, and sometimes even deconstructions of contemporary culture and society through their artworks.
INK CITY collectively showcases the social narratives of an age marked by transition. Some stories tell the unique perspectives of Hong Kong in the twilight of the colonial era, with the city adjusting to the handover and navigating rising global tensions; other narratives take in the vast range of the Chinese diaspora and resonate with shared social experiences of gender, identity, desire, and fantasy.
