Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA)

Artistic creations are often seen as an expression of the artist’s personal experience. In fact, many contemporary artists create mixed-media works to reflect upon issues related to history, society or culture. They also collaborate with people in various fields to express and explain ideas through visual arts and mixed-media works. 

This resource kit aims to introduce mixed-media installation art to students by introducing Jaffa Lam’s creative methods and inspiration. The students will create works with various recyclable materials to express their views on issues they care about.
