In the workshop “The Discovery of A Secret Language”, Mexican artist Ane Alfeiran will invite the participants to resonate with the secret language of embroidery works in history, to allow the participants to explore embroidering lines, patterns, or even text, to create your own secret languages. In the full day workshop, the artist will tutor several basic embroidering techniques, participants will then embroider on a canvas, to hide their own resilient secret message in their creation. In the later session of the workshop the artist will guide the participants to collaborate and deliver their own secret messages, at the end to sublimate the art pieces through creation, erasure, and replication. The embroidery pieces from the participants will be eventually stitched into a giant collaborative work, and the aesthetics of embroidery will be presented.

The collaborative outcome of the workshop will be presented to the public in the HART Social Studio showcase in the end of the year.

在《秘密語言》工作坊中，墨西哥藝術家 Ane Alfeiran 將向大家介紹和追溯歷史刺繡作品上的暗語，繼而帶領參加者探索如何透過刺繡線條、圖案，甚至文字，製作屬於自己的秘密語言。在全日的工作坊中，藝術家會先教授基本的刺繡技巧，讓參加者在畫布上刺繡，將自己柔韌的暗語隱藏於創作中。工作坊的環節將引導參加者合作互相寄託暗語，透過創造、消除、複製等方式，轉化及昇華刺繡作品。最終參與者的刺繡將匯集縫拼成一幅大型合作作品，並展示刺繡的美學意義。

工作坊的創作最後將在年末於我們的匯舍展示中向公眾展出。

We all keep old or damaged clothes in the closet in the hope to wear them again someday or because they bring up special memories. The workshop “THE MEMORY MAKER” invites you to celebrate these memories and refashion your pieces of clothes stuck in the closet with embroidery.

You are to bring a memorable picture of yours, to be translated into a computer language through a programme devised by the artists, to become the embroidery patterns of your unique artwork. You will then be taught an traditional Japanese embroidery technique, “sashiko”, to transfer the generated pattern on your old clothes.

The workshop is led by Noémie Clavier, a multi-disciplinary artist; and Yasmina Viale-Fraine, a fashion designer. The participants will explore how embroidery is not only a technique, but also a craft, a mindfulness practice, and an art practice to channel your precious memories and emotions.

我們都將舊或破損的衣服放在衣櫃裡，希望有一天再穿一次，或是因為它們帶來了特殊的回憶。 工作坊《MEMORY MAKER》邀請您慶祝這些回憶，重塑你長駐衣櫃裡的布料。

工作坊中你可以攜帶一張記念性的圖像，並利用一個由藝術家設計的電腦程序轉化為程式語言，成為你獨特作品的刺繡圖樣。藝術家隨後將教授傳統的日本刺繡技巧「刺子」，將生成的圖樣轉移至舊布料上。

工作坊將由兩位法國藝術家帶領：Noémie Clavier是一位多媒介藝術家；而Yasmina Viale-Fraine是一位時裝設計師。參加者將發現刺繡不單是一個技巧，還是一門工藝、正念練習，和一個可以連繫你珍貴回憶和感情的藝術創作。

It is an American-born drawing technique based on strings and circles, filling spaces with simple yet repetitive strokes, demonstrating beauty in a complicated picture. People can enter a meditative state through creating zentangle patterns, therefore it is also known as ‘yoga for the brain’.

About the Host

As the arts and cultural scene in Hong Kong proliferates, it has never been an easy journey for many local practitioners in the field. No matter whether you are an artist, an art administrator, or a representative from an art initiative/non-profit organisation, one needs to pass through many hurdles in order to see the fruits ripen. From content creation, seeking resources, to planning and execution of cultural events, as well as maintaining different kinds of spaces/institutions/organisations, how do we survive for the identities and roles we chose to take for ourselves? What are our priorities and values?

HART has the pleasure to be able to invite three insiders of the field to share with us their own stories and lessons learnt. Speakers of the evening include:

• Jaime Chong, independent artist in Hong Kong, currently participant of our Social Studio project (Hausian)

• Susi Law, cultural engineer of Art & Cultural Outreach, also an artist and curator

• Jeannie Wu, director of HART Collective, also director of Hong Kong Archives Society, arts advisor

“I would like to share the importance for me to walk. To find inspiration of course, but also to discover or to rediscover a place thanks to art installation. In my opinion, art must be an experience. Literally walking through the idea of someone is simply magic.” - Raphaële de Broissia

French artist Raphaële de Broissia will be our host of the very first HART Hub session - ‘WALK’.
What does walking mean to you? For de Broissia, walking is more than a physical action, it is also mental and transcending - it is where her art begins.

Join us for a WALK, and let’s learn more about art as an experience.

「我想分享走路的重要性——當然，以作為靈感來源；同時多虧裝置藝術，能用以發掘或重新探索一個地方。
我認為藝術必須是一種體驗。漫步於別人的想法之中，感覺非常奇妙。」—— Raphaële de Broissia

我們首場HART Hub交流會 —— ‘WALK’ 將由法國藝術家Raphaële de Broissia主持。
於你而言，步行是甚麼？對de Brossia來說，步行不止是一個動作，它更牽涉精神層面上的超脫 ——
是她藝術創作的起源。

讓我們一同散個步，並更多了解藝術的體驗。
