General

Welcome to Family Day at Tai Kwun Contemporary! Presented by Tai Kwun Contemporary in collaboration with MUDWORK, this series of Family Days draws inspiration from the artworks in Myth Makers—Spectrosynthesis III.

This artist-led workshop invites family participants to sculpt their own “shape of love” from a heart-shaped woodblock. In doing so, the participants create a treasure box that can safeguard emotions but also can be shared, thus fostering trust and empathy. In this process, participants get to explore a diverse range of cultural symbols and classic stories about love, and come to understand different possibilities of love, empathy, diversity, and ways of living.

This artist-led programme welcomes children aged five or above who are accompanied by a parent/guardian to participate.
