11 MayValues That Matter to You: Zine-Making Workshop

These workshops are presented by bookliner publishing and education.

“bookliner” was established by two artists who believe in the transformative potential of art to enrich lives and inspire self-discovery. We emphasis personal growth, storytelling, memories, and narratives, and connecting art to well-being. We place a strong emphasis on the value of observation, recognizing its capacity to facilitate introspection and provide a profound understanding of both ourselves and our surroundings. Our approach to creativity is context-driven, responding to conditions and constraints rather than being solely goal-oriented.

Depicting Yourself in a Line: Create Silhouettes

recalling a significant moment in your life, expressing your gesture from that moment on the paper.

Transforming Dates into Meaning: Crafting your 2024 Calendar

In this workshop, you will count up your life in numbers, such as how many days you have been in the world, how much time you have spent in bed, and how many heart beats you have experienced so far. Using this information, you will create your own 2024 calendar, giving meaning to each number.

Kongtinue, a UK-registered CIC, was founded by a team of Hong Kong social workers and educators. They aim to support children who have moved from Hong Kong to the UK, guiding them through cultural and environmental transitions. Even as these youngsters grow up away from Hong Kong, Kongtinue aspires for them to retain their native culture and values. The recent grant from the Greater London Authority empowers them to further their mission, including initiatives like the Hong Kong Cultural Fun Day.
