“Urban built environments are spatial and material archives. [...] Embodying our desires, needs, and resources, they condition how we live and interact with each other and trigger countless reinterpretations and re-appropriations. Most of this dense layering is not immediately legible; it has not been decoded. Rather it is part of a more intuitive, lived sense of “urbanity” that generates contemporary individual and collective senses of identity and belonging.”
How does each of us regard art spaces and cultural groups to play a role (or not) as part of our lives?
Since its establishment, HART has been reflecting upon these questions around the nature of art spaces and their functions. Our signature programme HART Social Studio is usually referred to as a creative studio physically, but for many it is more: a community established by creative talents, a happening or occasion, a program or experimental project... or, somewhere and something yet to be defined --- an entity that yet to be shaped could be a crucial element for its current development.
In May this year, HART invites you to Space Shuffler - Imagining Creative Communities, a presentation that combines an audience-led reflective journey on art spaces and their inextricable relationship with the creative communities they house, as well as a showcase of latest works created and presented by Hausians (artists) of HART Social Studio. The latest commissioned work of our Open Call winner will also be shown for the first time in this presentation, answering to the narrative via creativity itself while creating conversation with talents from the city.
Space Shuffler - Imagining Creative Communities also comes with an exciting programme of arts and cultural events, ranging from talks, to guided tours and workshops led by HART and Hausians, as well as our creative friends and partners. More details can be found below.
As art month in Hong Kong revives, this presentation puts forward questions as well as statements inviting collective efforts to reflect and build sustainability for our cultural landscape. This is where HART is now, of how and what we aspire to.
We are eager to gain your feedback that nurture our growth, but more significant to us will be your take away on how creativity relates to you.
Look forward to connecting with you, continuously.
