Tactile Drawing

Ever wonder how people with visual impairment ‘view’ works in a museum? Come for the challenge of ‘seeing’ the imagery through audio descriptions and transform it into a tactile drawing. As you feel the raised surfaces of the tactile drawing with your fingers, you will be able to ‘see’ the imagery in your mind. This workshop enables you to learn about how people with visual impairment communicate, and discover ‘viewing’ beyond the visual.

Time: 19:15 (Mandarin), 20:00 (English), 20:45 (Cantonese) (30 minutes per session)

Location: Main Hall, Ground Floor

Meditation on the Hip

Our bodies rely on the hips to support walking and daily movements, but sedentariness, repetitive moving, inflammation and strain can cause stiffness and discomfort. Additionally, muscles store emotional memories, and the hips are a place where physiological and psychological stress can accumulate. In this meditation session with art educator and yoga instructor Tin Ming Lau, you will be guided through gentle movements to relax tensions in your hips and to reconnect with your senses. After the practice, your steps may become lighter when you walk around the museum, creating more space in your mind for feeling the surroundings.

Time: 18:30, 19:15, 20:00, 20:45 (30 minutes per session in both Cantonese and English)

Location: The Forum, Learning Hub, Ground Floor
