Unboxing the Archive | Artist-led Workshops for School Groups

The archival process, and indeed, the archive itself, can often seem mysterious to newcomers. How does it function? What does it remember? In this new series, Asia Art Archive invites two emerging artist-educators – Jocelin Kee and Vivian Wong – to design a set of workshops that aim to connect students to the work of documentation and preservation in Hong Kong Art History.

藝術家主導的學校工作坊｜文獻庫開箱

整理檔案的過程甚至文獻庫本身，對新手來說往往神祕。文獻庫是如何運作的？檔案所記錄的又是什麽？文獻庫館藏能否培養我們對藝術史和世界的認知？亞洲藝術文獻庫將於未來數月邀請藝術家兼教育工作者紀晴和王穎琳，為學生設計一系列全新工作坊，提升他們對記錄和保存香港藝術史的關注。文獻庫館藏涵蓋各種各樣的第一手資料，這個工作坊不但為學生提供親身接觸史料的機會，更期望以嶄新方式探索應用文獻的可能性。

「你在年月洗刷的生活中，弄丢了自己的靈魂嗎？」

藝術家梁祖賢來自澳門，去年初製作了一本像是工具書的藝術出版物《身體陪伴靈魂的二十個生活行動》(艺鵠有售)，設計二十個生活行動，都是在日常生活中可以實踐的行動，卻輕巧地打破著社會的常規。祖賢希望以這些看似微細的感官體驗，解構我們在生活中以為必然如此的框架。

這些生活行動始於2O21年她在重慶駐村時構想的一場「簡單身體運動」的創作。爾後，她將內容和趣味擴展，成為人人可參與的生活行動。這些行動讓人得以暫緩生活的速度，撇開各種緊張的功利，放鬆心情，把身體作為靈魂的陪伴。一息間的行動，也許便成為發現生命要義的轉念時刻。

【Talk | Rooted Networks: Field Notes from Oaxaca】

As the inaugural speaker of AAA’s new talk series “Learning Contexts,” artist-educator Jaime Ruíz Martínez will share crucial political context on the relationship between art and education in Mexico since the 1920s. Starting with the inception of the Secretaría de Educación Pública SEP (Department of Public Education) in 1921, Ruíz connects various incidents that transformed anti-systemic sentiment into fuel for building self-organised cultural networks.

Drawing upon his experience navigating arts and education circuits in his hometown of Oaxaca and in his current role at Museo Tamayo, Ruíz shares hybrid strategies built upon principles of reciprocity and sustainability that integrate knowledge from both native communities and institutional work as resources.

This talk marks the beginning of Ruíz’s residency at AAA in June, where he will work on-site to explore our Collections and discuss education methodologies with local art education and community practitioners.

【活動回顧】教學實驗室｜講座及工作坊 | 在個人和集體之間的藝術

是次教學實驗室結合圖書館展覽《群策群學》，文獻庫研究總監譚鴻鈞與參加者一同探討藝術群體在亞洲形成的歷史與背景。其後在教育工作坊，透過小組討論的方式，嘗試一同構思在課堂中引入「 共學」理念的方法，互相交流對於見解。

【Activity Review】Teaching Lab｜Art between the Individual and the Collective

This teaching lab is led by our Head of Research, John Tain. In the sharing session, John introduces the historical background of the emergence of art collectives, as well as prompting participants to reflect on the distinction between groups and collectives, as well as the relationship between the individual and the collective across various Asian contexts. The workshop for educators, conducted in a group discussion and Q&A format, offers a platform for educators to engage and exchange ideas. During the interaction, teachers shared their ideas and John addresses teachers’ concerns regarding introducing collective practices into the classroom setting.
We will continue to hold different learning programmes for educators and we look forward to meeting you again soon!

Talk｜Expanding Education Settings: A Discussion on Artist Exercises
Sat, 25 Feb 2023 4:15–5:45pm HKT
Zoom
Programme Details: https://bit.ly/3XMJN2d
Register Now: https://bit.ly/3IkQeDO

This online talk is presented by art educators from across Asia on alternative and expanded settings for learning today. In 2021, AAA announced an open call, and six artist-educators and collectives from across Asia and the Asian diaspora were selected to develop a series of creative Artist Exercises for their communities of learners, drawing inspiration from AAA’s Collections.
To extend the interests and concerns raised in the exercises, this programme invites Kathmandu-based educator and writer Niranjan Kunwar to respond to the series, and to mediate a conversation around the role of art in education today, with an emphasis on supporting learners to engage with their surrounding environments.

【Workshop | Do It Together: Linocut Postcard Workshop】

In this workshop, 點印社 Printhow will guide participants to create print postcards about people or places they miss, touching upon growing sentiment towards loss and separation experienced in recent years in Hong Kong.

Participants will learn basic linocut techniques to create their own prints, and explore how printmaking can act as a medium to document collective effort, encourage self-expression, and build emotional solidarity.

Register for the free workshop here: https://www.anpasia.com/public/event/RegistrationForm/4140594A744447584271

The workshop is limited to fifteen people on a first-register, first-served basis. Materials will be provided, and no prior knowledge regarding printmaking is required. Please note that this workshop will involve handling sharp art utensils.

【Talk | Expanding Education Settings】

How can artist-educators act as mediators between teachers and students? How can exercises inspired by archives make pedagogical practices more local and personal? And, in a rapidly changing world, how can we think more broadly about what constitutes a “setting” for education?

In this talk, Kathmandu-based educator and writer Niranjan Kunwar responds to a series of Artist Exercises initiated by AAA’s open call in 2021, where six artist-educators and collectives from across Asia and the Asian diaspora were selected to develop exercises in creativity for their communities of learners, drawing inspiration from AAA’s Collections. Kunwar will be in conversation with Open Call selectees Anga Art Collective (Guwahati, India), Omnispace (Bandung, Indonesia) (OmniSpace ID), and Czar Kristoff (Laguna, Philippines).

Register for the talk: https://www.anpasia.com/public/event/RegistrationForm/414059457649455F4771

Teachers and pre-service teachers from all disciplines are especially encouraged to participate. A certificate will be given to participants upon request as proof of Continuing Professional Development of Teachers (CPD).

【Talk | Art Between the Individual and the Collective】

In the last few years, collective forms of artistic practice have come into vogue in the field of contemporary art. AAA Head of Research John Tain will provide some historical background for understanding the emergence of art collectives as a phenomenon and explore the relationship between the individual and the collective in different contexts across Asia.

Following the talk, a workshop for educators will open up discussions on methods of introducing contemporary art to classroom settings. The workshop promotes a learning community and welcomes teachers and pre-service teachers from all disciplines to participate. An optional tour of the exhibition The Collective School will be conducted after the workshop.

The talk is open to the public with registration and will be held at AAA’s library from 10:30–11:45am. The workshop (11:45am–12:30pm, AAA’s library) and exhibition tour (12:30–1pm) are exclusive to educators.
