Recognising the important role of art in society to raise awareness and defend human rights,local human rights non-governmental organisation HKRAC has inaugurated an annual Hong Kong Human Rights Art Prize. By featuring two categories,the ground-breaking Prize both offers local artists a meaningful opportunity to showcase their work while at the same time engaging the greater community.

The Emerging Artist category was open to young professional artists in Hong Kong under the age of 35 years old. In order to enter,these artists had to be nominated by someone of good standing in the Hong Kong art community. The Community artist category was open any non-professional Hong Kong based artist of any age. HKRAC received well over 50 entries for the prize and they represented a diverse,talented and exciting collections.

With great deliberation,our judges,Melissa Lee,a visual arts lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong,Kacey Wong,a well known Hong Kong artist,and Vincent Piket,the Head of Office of the European Union in Hong Kong,whittled the competition down to seven finalists in each category and 2 winners. HKRAC has also awarded an HKRAC Choice Award,chosen by its staff,to one artist in each category. Each of these four winners will be auctioned off in a live auction by Christie’s on November 5 at our event.

The finalists in each category,as well as the winners,can be seen below. Each of these 14 pieces of art will be available for sale by auction on November 5 at our one night only exhibition at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery. Please email cwaterhouse@hkrac.org for more information or prices and to RSVP if you wish to attend. Attendance is free and all are welcome.



HKRAC is excited to invite you to celebrate the power of art in protecting human rights at our inaugural Hong Kong Human Rights Art Prize - a one night only exhibition and charity auction on 5 November at Sundaram Tagore Gallery.

Showcasing Hong Kong's most talked about emerging artists, unique and stunning artwork will be available to purchase in a live Christie's auction or via silent auction.

Attendance is free and please feel free to invite friends!

All proceeds raised will go directly to HKRAC and the exhibited artists, thanks to our generous supporters.

Hong Kong Refugee Advice Centre

www.hkrac.org

The Hong Kong Refugee Advice Centre is the only not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing free legal advice and assistance to refugees making claims for asylum before the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Hong Kong. Legal recognition as a refugee is the first step in enabling a refugee to rebuild their life and since our establishment in 2007, we have supported over 800 refugees and their families in their claims for protection.

Without our legal assistance, many cases are mistakenly rejected because refugees rarely understand international refugee law or the process of applying for asylum, or because the refugee is traumatized and unable to give their history in a coherent and legally relevant manner.

Alongside our core staff team, we support refugees through the process of applying for protection in Hong Kong by recruiting, training and supervising a team of volunteer lawyers, caseworkers and interpreters. Your donation will enable us to provide this life-saving advice to even more refugees, recruit and train more volunteer caseworkers and interpreters, and promote refugees' rights throughout Hong Kong.

香港難民援助中心(HKRAC)是香港唯一為難民提供免費法律諮詢與協助的非營利組織,致力協助難民向聯合國難民署(UNHCR)申請香港庇護。難民想過新的生活,必須先經法律承認其難民身份,本中心於2007年設立,至今已協助超過800位難民及其家屬申請庇護。

在無法律協助的情況下,許多申請案件常因聯合國難民署誤判而退回,因為難民大多不諳國際難民法,也不懂申請庇護的程序;有人更身心嚴重受創,無法有條理地描述自己的遭遇及清楚提供難民署裁決所需的資料,因而申請遭拒。

除了核心運作團隊,香港難民援助中心也招募律師、社工與翻譯員擔任義工。義工將接受培訓,並在負責人帶領之下,協助難民申請香港庇護。您的每一分捐助,都有莫大裨益,我們將能幫助更多難民,提供重要的諮詢協助,也可以招募並訓練更多義工,一起為香港的難民權利奮鬥!

New Project - An Artwork Related Human Right

City Kite / 80 cm x 82 cm
 / Acrylic paint, stainless steel, aluminum, bamboo, wire / 2013

An Artwork Related Human Right:

Artist: Sim Chan
Title: CityKite
Dimension: 80 cm x 82 cm
Materials: Acrylic paint, stainless steel, aluminum, bamboo, wire
Year: 2013

題目:City Kite
尺寸:80 cm x 82 cm
物料:塑膠彩, 不銹鋼, 竹, 鋼絲, 鋁
年份:2013


Artwork Brief:

This is a sky silhouette of a city,
is a denunciation of life,

This is an abnormally heavy kite,
is a competition of finding freedom, pursuing a dream,

This is a metal mirror surfaced kite,
is a reality reflection carrier;

This is a notice to ban kite flying,
is an action to confronting inequality.

Pulling the city and the kite together, it would be a contradiction.
Kite symbolizes humanity, belong to the natural world and Liberal. According to the law, public can not fly a kite above sixty meters height from the ground, and no less than sixty meter away from the boats, cars or buildings. It means they do not have the freedom of flying under the law. If the world are full of building, where can the kite go?

Taking a step further, If "kite" is a metaphor to "human life",
When a kite in the city, What would it lose?
When people in the society, What would they lose?



作品簡介:

這是一個城市天空剪影的風箏,
是一種對生活控訴的表現;

這是一隻異常沉重的風箏,
是一個追求自由,追尋夢想的鬥爭;

這是一隻金屬鏡面的風箏,
是一個反映現實的載體;

這是一個禁止放風箏的告示,
是一種與不平等的對抗行為。


把城市與風箏兩者拉在一起,會是一種矛盾的狀態。放風箏象徵著人性的、歸於自然的、自由自在的。而根據法例, 市民不可以把風箏飄放至離地面高度超過六十米,以及在船隻、汽車或建築物六十米範圍內放風箏。 這代表在法例下風箏沒有飛的自由。如果世界上每個角落充滿建築物,那風箏可在哪裡飛翔?


想深一層,如果以“放風箏”借代“人的生活”,
當風箏在城市裡,它會失去甚麼?
當人們在社會裡,他們會失去甚麼?
