「不要成為陌生人(Don’t be a Stranger)」藝術展嘅策劃方式,希望可以觸動海外香港人嘅心,提醒我哋喺呢個世界並不孤單。 透過8位才華橫溢嘅藝術家以及3個港人生活品牌嘅角度,展覽透過藝術品嘅力量連接海外香港人,彌合我哋之間嘅距離,同埋提醒我哋有嘅共同價值觀。


展出嘅每一件藝術品都係我哋了解香港靈魂嘅窗口,反映咗香港豐富嘅飲食文化、複雜嘅英國殖民歷史、街頭藝術同蓬勃發展嘅電影業。 從香港本地時尚品牌 Victoria充滿活力嘅服裝設計,到攝影及作家《香港老美》發人深省嘅圖文藝術,每件藝術品都捕捉緊一個時刻同埋我哋熱愛嘅城市嘅一部分。


「不要成為陌生人」藝術展唔單止着重藝術本身,將希望佢哋可以喚起參加者嘅情感——當我哋睇到熟悉嘅場景重演或者聽到熟悉嘅聲時所感受到嘅歸屬感、當我哋見到代表童年時代嘅物件或聽到母語時湧回嘅記憶。


對於我們呢一班離鄉別井,或者覺得同屋企距離好遠嘅香港人嚟講,「不要成為陌生人」藝術展提醒我哋香港人係跨越全球大社區嘅一部分,我哋喺掙扎時並唔孤單,齊上齊落。


幫漫步展覽時,我哋就好似坐緊一部時光機經歷緊唔同年代同地點,返到去一個屬於香港人嘅地方。 


如果你覺得呢個世界好陌生,Urban Poet HK 歡迎各位「陌生人」一齊嚟參加呢個展覽,等藝術品同你嘅心靈傾偈,記住:香港人並不孤單,我哋可以一齊搵到返屋企嘅路。


The 'Don't be a Stranger' art show is curated in a way to speak to the heart of the Hong Kong diaspora, a reminder that we are not alone in this world. Through the eyes of the 8 talented artists and 3 Hong Kong lifestyle labels, the show is a testament to the power of art to connect us, to bridge the gaps between us, and to remind us of our shared humanity.


Each piece of art showcased is a window into the soul of Hong Kong, a reflection of its rich dining culture, its complex British Colonial history, and its thriving movie industry. From the vibrant designs of Hong Kong-born fashion label Victoria's apparel pieces to the powerful capture and writing of author and photographer 《香港老美》 “Hong Kong Lo Mei” , each work of art captures a moment in time, a slice of life in the city that we love.


But it's not just about the art itself - it's about the emotions that it evokes. It's about the sense of belonging that we feel when we see a familiar scene, or hear a familiar sound. It's about the memories that come flooding back when we see an object from our childhood, or hear a phrase from our mother tongue.


For those of us who have left Hong Kong, or who feel disconnected from our home, the 'Don't be a Stranger' art show is a lifeline. It's a reminder that we are part of a larger community that spans the globe, that we are not alone in our struggles, and that shares a bond that cannot be broken.


As we wander through the exhibit, we're transported to a different time and place, a place where we feel at home, a place where we belong. 


If you're feeling like a stranger in this world, come to the 'Don't be a Stranger' art show. Let the art speak to you, let it touch your heart, and let it remind you that you are not alone. Together, we can find our way back home.
