Hong Kong Jockey Club Heritage x Arts x Design Walk Event introduction
Hulu Culture was established in 2009 as a non-profit organisation to promote the local culture of Hong Kong. Building on the tenet of cultural inheritance, it reproduces the local spirit, preserves authentic culture, and stimulates creativity among people through an interactive triad of tradition, art, and design. The public learns more about local culture through exhibitions and other activities. Hulu Culture also builds various platforms so that participants from all walks of life have the opportunity to share in our joint exhibitions, in the hopes of offering the next generation more tangible channels to behold the dazzling wisdom of local culture and history.
Thanks to funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC), Hulu Culture has organised HKJC Heritage x Arts x Design Walk (H.A.D. Walk) projects in different districts since 2010. Workshops, cultural guided tours and other activities showcase the history and culture of each community as well as its defining characteristics, for the purposes of conservation, inheritance, and innovation.
In the past ten years, HKJC H.A.D. Walk Community Arts Schemes. Preparations for each annual exhibition lasts for over a year, beginning with an in-depth historical and cultural study of each area. On top of inviting local artists and designers to creative community projects, we also led the undergraduates into the community in “Too-Proud Workshops” where they created community-specific designs and artworks for local exhibition under the guidance of senior artists. The exhibition will also regale the public with the traditional customs, old shops and settlements, and the history of the district.
