召集Kingston街坊！歡迎大人細路、香港同本地街坊一齊喺今個暑假，以鏡頭遊走社區，以布藝連結社群，交朋結友，用藝術說話～

Day 1【社區攝影遊 & 藍曬】

我哋會帶大家欣賞區內風景同埋認識地區組織，用相機記錄感興趣或有共鳴嘅事物，然後用藍曬方法呈現所拍攝嘅影像

Day 2【刺繡】

參加完 Day 1 嘅朋友可以用自己嘅藍曬作品為基礎，喺導師嘅帶領下用刺繡為布料添加更多元素

Calling for Kingston residents! This summer, let’s travel around the community with our cameras, connect to the community with textile art, and let art speak for our stories. Our collective artworks will also be exhibited in Kingston at the end of this year!

Supported by Mayor of London, this project is based in three communities (Kingston Town, New Malden, Tolworth). It encourages Hong Kongers and locals to participate in the two-day event to make friends, share stories and create collective artworks! We will start with a photo walk to learn about the local area and relevant community organisations. You can use your camera to record things of interest, and the image will be developed on fabric using cyanotype; the next day, we will further build up that piece of cyanotype cloth with embroidery.

Participants who complete the two-day event will receive £5 equivalent Kingston Pounds, the community currency in Kingston, which can only be used in local shops.
