The “HART to Heart” campaign, a collaboration with Art in Place, brings together four interdisciplinary and emerging groups of artists to celebrate Kennedy Town’s unique character – DD Yung + Yasmina Viale-Fraine, Doris Ng + Sharu B. Sikdar, Elsa Ngai + Estelle Chan, and Zaat Hap Laa (Mimmy Tjia, Jeffrey Hung, Oscar Lau, and Emily Chan). Through a series of interactive public programmes including performances, walking tours, and workshops curated by the artists throughout April till late May, the community from the neighborhood or other kinds of cross-platforms audiences will have the opportunity to actively participate in the creative process, forging connections with neighbours they might not otherwise meet. From concept to completion, this initiative promises to weave craftsmanship, recyclable resources, painting with contemporary art-making approaches into the fabric of the neighbourhood, sparking dialogue and strengthening community bonds.
