Courage．Justice．Humanity．Sacrifice
Project "HOME" - An arts exhibition for the relief of victims of Sichuan earthquake -

Background
Hi, we are an arts organization in Hong Kong. Our name is 'Art Fete Brings Hope 藝展予希望. We are governed by the Hong Kong Laws. Every year we carried out arts exhibition in various shopping malls in Hong Kong and collected funds for the charity organizations and provided arts therapy to the sick children, and to promote arts to the citizens. The charity organizations included UNICEF, ORBIS, Children's Cancer Foundation etc. Our members are now learning in the universities, or working in various industries, for example, arts education, design, architecture, advertising, corporate communications, public bodies, property development, or running their companies or married.

Having seen the Sichuan earthquake in China, we want to make contribution. We want to invite artists in various cities to join force to carry out an arts exhibition in Hong Kong to sustain the citizens' care and help to the victims in Sichuan.

The Project
The project is to call upon artists in various arts perspectives to lend out their artworks for the arts exhibition. The theme of the arts exhibition is "家". We will not carry out any sales, or auction of the artworks during the arts exhibition. However, Oxfam will call upon the citizens to donate during the arts exhibition. We will make a book/documentary for the arts exhibition with photos and meaning of the artworks, and give the books to the Sichuan government for reference, and give the books to the charity organizations as a counselling tool, and as our blessing to the victims in Sichuan.

Your help will make a difference
We appeal to you to support or take part or to call upon your friends to do so in the arts exhibition.

Our members are working on the following artworks, and your support or participation would make a difference:

Chinese calligraphy - the Chinese word '家' in various dynasties.
Architectural arts – illustrations and models for anti-earthquake schools and citizens
shelters.
Installation arts - a human-size transparent container filled with fake steel bars, broken concrete, destroyed personal belongings, destroyed fixtures, fittings etc. It is
to display how the victims feel compression, breathless and helpless etc under the broken concrete.

Manga arts - various short stories about home.
Computer graphic design arts - showing the differences between Sichuan and Hong Kong in terms of geography, demographics, education facilities, residence, economy, major trades, standard of living etc. It is to stimulate the Hong Kong citizens to think how fortunate living in Hong Kong is.

Photography arts - the photos about feelings of home, or photos about children playing with their parents or friends etc.

勇氣．正義．人道．無私——以「家」為題為四川地震受災人民籌款的藝術展覽

你好，我們是香港一個名為「藝展予希望（Art Fete Brings Hope）」的藝術組織，創辦1991 年，並根據香港社團條例註冊為一非牟利組織。目的是以藝術為橋樑，透過不同的愛心行動，幫助社會上有需要的一群。過去十多年間，我們曾於各大商場，舉辦年度籌款活動，為UNICEF 聯合國兒童基金會、ORBIS 奧比斯、苗圃行動、兒童癌病基金等慈善機構籌募經費，捐款總數超過港幣$3,000,000。

我們現正嘗試舉辦一個香港少有的多媒介綜合藝術展覽運動，希望在同一個展場透過不同形式的藝術表達，去繼續感動大眾，延續他們對四川地震受災人民的關愛，並籌募善款，為協助他們重建家園出一份力。

展覽以「家（HOME）」為主題，我們已聯絡對藝術創作有興趣的朋友、不同的藝術工作者，邀請他們借出作品於大型商場內展出，替樂施會籌款。我們並不會在展場裏進行任何作品義賣或競投，但會安排樂施會的義工，到現場直接收集市民的捐款。此外，我們會把這個活動過程及所展出的作品輯錄成小冊子及其它媒體，送給四川政府作為香港同胞向四川受災人民慰問和支援的歷史記錄、並透過受惠機構傳送給當地災民，寥表我們的心意和支援以及作為災後心理輔導的其中一種工具。

我們衷心的邀請你參與我們的活動，你可直接提供展品或呼籲你的朋友參與或贊助我們的行動，展覽日期視乎商場方面的場地借用編排。我們的參加者已開始進行以下的藝術創作，你的支持和參與定必令這個展覽更精彩：

書法：「家」字的不同形體書法藝術，例如：楷書、草書、隸書、篆書、行書等。
文字及語言藝術：將相關的關鍵字詞，例如「家」、「災」等，從辭海、辭源等搜集定義並重新編輯及創作。
漫畫藝術：從報章、雜誌等媒體，收集有關的漫畫，或依主題創作出全新漫畫情節。
裝置藝術：利用巨型的透明容器，裝滿著模制的鋼條、混凝土塊、被摧毀的個人物品、殘骸碎片等嘗試讓香港人具體地感受壓在石屎瓦礫下那種絕望無助或為救他人發揮人類極限所要面對的痛苦。
時裝藝術：為受災地區在資源有限的情況下製作出讓孩子上學用的校服，及救災隊的工作服。
建築藝術：展示擁有抗震能力的學校或災民臨時居所的設計及模型。
電腦圖像藝術：利用電腦圖像、Flash、Powerpoint 等，將四川及香港的關係連結、相似性及不同性表達出來。內容可以包括地理資料、統計資料、教育設施、經濟、貿易、生活質素、生活習慣、行政架構等等，希望藉此啟發香港人對身在福地、知足常樂、血濃於水的反思，以及對四川及至其他地區村鎮同胞生活的暸解。
刺繡藝術：展出縫在嬰兒背挽的傳統中國刺繡圖案。
雕塑藝術：以很多不同的鑰匙組合成一條龍的雕塑，每一根鑰匙寓意一個家，他們的團結組成了我們的國家——中國。
折紙藝術：用折紙藝術展現出一般村鎮同胞家裏的簡單佈置及內容，例如桌、椅、床、父母兄妹及家畜等等。
手工藝：人手製作出給鄉村兒童的重返校園用具，例如學生辨名牌、手縫筆袋、記事本、木間尺、木鉛筆等等。
攝影藝術：收集如主題有關的相片集，例如大眾對家的感覺、小孩對著父母朋友的笑臉等等。
產品設計藝術：設計出一個震災用的危急存活背包，內裏包含讓災民存活的用具物品。並以相片及圖像，介紹其他國家為類似災難所提供的方式和情況。
表演藝術：創作出主題音樂，如有合唱部分，將更能觸動人心。有關「HOME 家」的馬拉松式歌唱或音樂表演。
行為藝術：從電視、收音機等收集於大地震錄取的聲音、聲效、噪音，讓捐贈者閉著眼，也能親身體驗當時的環境。
視訊藝術：用MTV、Flash 動畫等形式，道出一個個有關家、國的故事，甚至以更宏觀的「大我」概念，去表達作為中國人民的故事。
繪畫藝術：如題。

祈盼得到你的支持和參與。

謝謝。
