Workshop | Make Your Own Hong Kong Guidebook 非官方香港指南

Explore Hong Kong through projected slides, archival photographs, collage, drawing, and visual storytelling. Each participant will select several favourite Hong Kong slides and combine details from them to create one original page. They may focus on buildings, streets, shop signs, transport, people, objects, colours, or small details from the slides. Using printed images, coloured paper, collage materials, and POSCA pens, participants will cut, layer, rearrange, draw over, and transform their chosen images. They will experiment with several possible compositions before completing their final page. The page may represent a real place, an imagined neighbourhood, a personal memory, or a playful version of Hong Kong. It does not need to be geographically accurate. At the end of the workshop, all participants’ pages will be collected and combined into one collaborative Hong Kong booklet. The finished publication will function as a shared souvenir, inspired by historical tourist guidebooks, postcards, and travel booklets that introduced visitors to a city. Rather than presenting one official image of Hong Kong, the booklet will bring together many individual ways of seeing, remembering, and imagining the city. Make Your Own Hong Kong Guidebook 是一個由藝術家 Jimmi Wing Ka Ho 設計的 2 小時創作工作坊，邀請參加者透過舊香港幻燈片、檔案照片、拼貼、繪畫和視覺敘事，一起重新想像香港。 在工作坊開始時，Jimmi 會以幻燈片投影帶領參加者進入一個由光、影像和記憶組成的舊香港空間。參加者將從一組香港影像中選出 2–3 張自己有感覺的幻燈片，並與小組分享它們讓自己想起的地方、人物、物件、旅程或記憶。 之後，參加者會使用印刷圖片、彩色紙、拼貼材料和 POSCA 筆，將所選影像重新剪裁、排列、描繪和改造，創作出一頁屬於自己的「香港指南」。這一頁可以是一個真實地方、一段個人記憶、一個想像中的街區，或者一個帶有童年感、懷舊感和奇幻想像的香港。作品不需要地理上準確，而是鼓勵大家從自己的觀看、記憶和感受出發。 活動最後，所有參加者完成的頁面將會被收集起來，組成一本共同創作的香港小冊子。這本 booklet 會借用舊旅遊指南、明信片和 souvenir booklet 的形式，但不再呈現單一、官方的香港形象，而是集合不同人眼中被記住、被想像、被重新組合的香港。 *Children under 8 should be accompanied by an adult. *本工作坊適合所有年齡參加，不需要任何香港背景或藝術經驗。8 歲以下兒童需由成人陪同。 ====================================== About the artist Jimmi Wing Ka Ho 是一位來自香港的視覺藝術家，作品探討移民、殖民歷史與集體記憶。其創作橫跨攝影、現成物與裝置，近年的作品透過重新處理檔案幻燈片，以視覺錯置、重複與抽象等方式重新框定歷史，並挑戰殖民影像所建立的觀看體系。 他的作品曾於多個國際藝術機構及攝影節展出，包括德國科隆Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum、倫敦 The Photographers’ Gallery，以及京都 KYOTOGRAPHIE 國際攝影節的 KG+ SELECT 單元。他曾獲皇家攝影學會研究生獎助金（2021/22），並獲提名 C/O Berlin Talent Award。 Jimmi Wing Ka Ho 何穎嘉 is a visual artist based in Hong Kong and London.
