Art@Kowloon City District – Together

About

According to statistics from the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department in 2010, Kowloon City District has a population of about 365,800, of which about 92% are Chinese , the remaining are ethnic minorities such as Filipinos, Indonesians, Japanese, Indians, Thais and Pakistanis, etc. As compared with the overall ratio of ethnic minorities which is about 5% for Hong Kong, this district has a relatively large group of ethnic minority inhabitants.

To promote and enhance the communication between different ethnic groups in the society, 1a space and local artists will conduct creative workshops for local residents including ethnic minority inhabitants. The workshops will be conducted in Cantonese and English.

Inspired by the vibrant culture and languages of the ethnic minority, workshops will explore the Demographic and Social Structure of Kowloon City district by using recycled materials from the community. The workshops will work effectively with other social service institutions in the district serving Ethnic Minorities. Workshops will be divided into two categories: 1) two-dimensional creative workshop (for age 5 – 11) and 2) three-dimensional creative workshop ( age 12 or above). Exhibition will be held to display the artwork of the participants.
