Creative Citizens: Five Ways to Engage Communities with Art

Are established organizations the only entities capable of impacting communities? Does changing the community require earth-shattering actions to be worthwhile?

Known for his boundless whimsical ideas, artist Luke CHING will share five cases he created to engage the Tai Po community, including "Everyone's Basketball," "Market Wai", "Everyone's Broom", and more. Let's dive into his unique perspective on the community and discuss the conditions and potential roles that creative citizens should have through these examples!

Walks

Last year, participants from the MaD School Studio in-Situ designed several walking routes after exploring the community and creating a guide to Tseung Kwan O. Their guided walks won praises from local residents as well as visitors from other districts. At the Beginning of Term, we invite these "alumni" to rerun the experience and also to try out a new route!
