疾風勁草繪本預展及創作分享 Power of Narrative Picture Book Pre-Exhibition & Sharing

大家怎理解社會上被受忽視的一群?

今次的展品,是一班香港浸會大學視覺藝術院學生,在探訪長者、少數族裔、獨居長者、視障人士、新來港婦女、單親婦女、劏房住客、特殊學習需要兒童、輪椅人士及低收入中年人後,把故事重新創作的繪本。主流的力量太過龐大,這短短的探訪與紀錄,充其量只是整個社群面貌的一鱗半爪,但我們相信,勁草強韌的生命力,總能啟發人們對生命的思考。我們期望本次展覽,能展現社群口述故事的力量,以藝術創作重現社群生活,讓更多香港人理解身邊被遺忘的社群,如何面對重重困難仍綻放活著的韌力。

How would you understand the marginalized groups in Hong Kong?

The exhibits are picture books designed by young artists from the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University. They visited ten marginalized groups, namely elderly, ethnic minority, singleton elderly, the visually impaired, new Mainland immigrant women, single-parent women, the poor cramped in cubicles, children with special education needs, wheelchair user and Middle-aged low-income person. Based on what they heard, the artists transformed the stories into picture books. We do not think that the exhibition can capture the reality of their living; nor can we stop the existing prejudices which partly contribute to their marginalized positions. However, we hope that the exhibition can show the power of narrative by representing communal life in an indigenous way, and hence inspiring people and changing their minds. We may at least recall Hong Kong people to understand the difficulties faced by the marginalized groups, and to realize how they thrive despite the adversities.
