The Voices of Children (2023-24)

Poetry and Music Project

Expressions through poetry and music

The Voices of Children is a poetry and music composition project that encourages the appreciation of words and music among children. Through creation, we develop mutual understanding between individuals. The project consists of a call-for-poem exercise, a poem exhibition, and a public performance of the music written based on the selected poems. We wish to empower children through creating and expressing and to experience how music will add another dimension of artistry to text.

The embodiment of language

Just as we spend much time looking at information through a smartphone daily without looking at the appearance and construction of the smartphone itself – we speak Cantonese and read words in Traditional Chinese characters every day in Hong Kong without spending much time to learn and to take a closer look at the language and the characters. 

What if we look at a Chinese character as just a character, and listen to the pronunciation of a word as just a sound? What if symbols are completely disconnected from the usual way we form words into comprehensible sentences?
