On 8 October and 5 November (Thursdays), the Art Museum held for local and international students who participated in the “APRU Virtual Student Exchange Program” Zoom workshops entitled “Writing of the Ultimate CV: A Death Ritual in Medieval China” and “Picturing Hong Kong through Historical Paintings & Photos” respectively. Hosted by Prof. Josh Yiu, Director of Art Museum, and two international students who came from Malaysia and Germany, the first workshop dealt with an epitaph stone relic and featured not only the introduction by Prof. Yiu, but also an interview clip of a seasoned tombstone carver. The second workshop, like the first one, also interacted with both students on the spot and on Zoom but dealt with the topic of contrasting Hong Kong’s past with its present, as well as its artistic representation. The two workshops attracted around 60 participants. |
