Asia Art Archive (AAA) is hosting the first annual Open Weekend on July 7 – 8, 2012 for kids and parents. Enjoy tours of AAA headquarters on Hollywood Road, storytelling by local artists, talks, hands-on workshops, live performances and more.
Themed ‘Between the Lines’, the two-day event aims to inspire new and non-traditional readings of material in AAA’s collection and to expand the meaning of ‘reading’ itself.
*FOR KIDS AND YOUTH:
The Art of Storytelling: Kids and their parents are invited to join artists who will share creative ways to engage children through storytelling. Click here for the schedule and to register.
Young Audience Evening: Experience the library activated at night with surprises of sound and light! Dinner is included. (Ages 15 - 25)
*WORKSHOPS:
Pick a Leaf: Create your own bag by selecting a page from a book in AAA’s collection, photocopying it, making comments on it, and printing it on a bag as a souvenir with the help of PageNEXT’s core team.
Behind the ‘Seen’: Learn about the research and archiving process at AAA, using as an example AAA’s recent project on Oil Street artist village.
*EXHIBITIONS AND OTHER ACTITIVIES:
Exhibition - Hong Kong Art: 5460 days: As Hong Kong reaches the 15th anniversary of the Handover, AAA displays a range of material from its collection that responds to this important historical moment.
