This summer, we are proud to host a family-oriented programme dedicated to the new Hong Kong BN(O) communities residing in Manchester. A series of workshops will facilitate the exploration and expression through the mediums of art and cultural dialogue. By exploring themes of migration, displacement, an new found communities, it provides participants an avenue to navigate their collective narratives and personal identities.
Facilitated by artists from East and Southeast Asian heritages, our workshops encompass a diverse range of artistic disciplines—including, but not limited to, acrylic painting, clay and ceramics making, printmaking techniques, and performance arts. These sessions are designed not only as instructional encounters but as spaces for communal creativity and personal growth, fostering an environment where individuals can connect with peers who share analogous experiences and backgrounds.
As the culmination of the collective artistic endeavours, our Communal Project Space will host a public display of the outcomes of the workshops. This showcase aims to offer a platform for the new works created through this initiative, and, importantly, the new narratives and belongingness found through the activities.
This programme is realised with the generous support of the North West Regional Strategic Migration Partnership (RSMP).
Join us at our Communal Project Space to celebrate these journeys of empowerment and discovery, as we move forwards, sideways, and beyond.
