對話之「吾」分享
Dialogue - Let's Share
感謝深水埗區議會關注貧窮問題及少數族裔工作小組贊助這次第八屆民族文化節的公眾教育展覽暨工作坊。透過策劃這次展覽，讓我再次有機會接觸深水埗區內的不同族群的民族文化，認識其文化背後的內涵及認識他們的社區。
We would like to express our gratitude to Sham Shui Po District Council for the sponsorship of this Sham Shui Po District Multiethnic Cultural Festival Public Educational Exhibition and Workshops.
Through curating this exhibition, I have more opportunities to learn the culture of diverse ethnic minorities, and to understand the cultural meanings and their communities.
這次展覽主題為：對話之「吾」分享。新儒家學者杜維明指出在21世紀不同族群、不同文明體系之間應有更多的溝通、交流，形成一種全球性的‘文明對話’。香港是一個國際城市，有不同語言、文化、生活習慣及信仰。
透過對話可以互相明瞭，亦能消取誤解。學者哈伯瑪斯指出一些溝通的條件，包括真理宣稱（客觀世界）、正當宣稱（社會世界）及真誠宣稱（主觀內在世界）。透過這些層面，讓我們能明瞭別人。
The theme of this exhibition is Dialogue - Let's Share. neo-confucianist scholar Tu Weiming proposed the concept of of '"Dialogue among Civilizations." in 21 century, to promote the universal communication and exchange among different cultural groups and civilizations. Hong Kong is one of the international cities which consists different language, culture, habits and faiths.
Through dialogue, we can not only better understand to others, and also to solve the misunderstanding. Another scholar, Habermas suggested the conditions of communication, include the Truth claim (objective world), Rightness claim (social world) and Sincerity claim (subjective world). Through these dimensions, we can reach mutual understanding.
「吾」在漢字有「我的」意涵。有趣的是「吾」的音在廣東粵語解「不」。「不分享」不是這次展覽的原意，反而，希望透過展覽能呈現多元文化的「我」及「我們」，畢竟社區有不同的族群所組成。
這次展覽透過不同方式的展現，讓參觀者投入對話、由接觸藝術作品、內在反思、再現社區、自然環境的可能性。或許是一種「民吾同胞，物吾與也」的人民精神。如教育家Paulo Freire指出對話有五個重要元素，包括愛、謙遜、信心、希望及批判。故此是否分享的開始是參與，由接觸，擴展我們的生活。
「吾」in Chinese implies 'I'. Interestingly, the pronounciation of「吾」in cantonese mean 'NOT'. Not sharing is not the central theme of this exhibition.
This exhibition aims to resonate the multiethnic culture of "I" and "WE", which further reminds us that our community is consisted of diverse groups.
Through exhibiting in various ways, we invite audiences to engage in dialogue by meeting the art works, our inner reflections, to recreate our community and natural environment.
May be it is the spirits of humanism by treating others and natural environment as ourselves. It ehcoes with educator,Paulo Freire's suggestion that dialogue needs love, humility, trust, hope and critical thinking.
Let's participate exhibition and, to extend our lives.
對話不只於文字或說話，藝術亦是一種 '能強化生命，透過非語言溝通形式表達思想及情感'的方法。 (American Art Therapy Association) 這次展覽的作品來自不同的機構，讓不同的民族透過創作藝術作品，表達他們的生活經驗及分享感受，讓社區人士更明瞭他們一個個故事。這次展現的作品有PhotoVoice，我的區我的故事（影像展示）；Wall of remembrance (互動裝置)；Future Artists (小朋友作品)；民族敏銳度訓練及樂悠遊(活動概況展示)。另外這次更有工作坊及跓場藝術工作者參與，讓這次公眾教育展覽暨工作坊能促進社群的認識及對話。
Dialogue is not only by words or speaking, Arts is a way to 'enhance our life, by non communicative language to express thoughts and feelings'(American Art Therapy Association). There are seven NGOs participated this exhibition and workshops. Furthermore, we are delighted to have an artist, Professor Kanta Ann Kochhar, to interact,have dialogue with audiences and moving in and beyond Shamshuipo. The exhibited art works include PhotoVoice, 3 minutes Stories (video) ; Wall of Rememberance (installation); Furure Artists (galleries) , Cultural sensitivity training and cultural tour (Photos).Through making art works, they express their expereinces, thoughts and feelings. We invite audiences to listen their stories, have dialogue with Professor Kanta Ann Kochhar, and enrol our cultural workshops.
