Encounter Engagement & Expression: Navigating Kingston with Art

Calling for Kingston residents! This summer, let’s travel around the community with our cameras, connect to the community with textile art, and let art speak for our stories. Our collective artworks will also be exhibited in Kingston at the end of this year!  

Supported by Mayor of London, this project is based in three communities (Kingston Town, New Malden, Tolworth). It encourages Hong Kongers and locals to participate in the two-day event to make friends, share stories and create collective artworks! We will start with a photo walk to learn about the local area and relevant community organisations. You can use your camera to record things of interest, and the image will be developed on fabric using cyanotype; the next day, we will further build up that piece of cyanotype cloth with embroidery.  

Participants who complete the two-day event will receive £5 equivalent Kingston Pounds, the community currency in Kingston, which can only be used in local shops.

Dates and Time: 

17 August（Sat）10:00 - 14:00 

25 August（Sun）14:00 - 17:00
