Welcome to the Colours of Humanity Arts Prize 2024, an annual celebration of diversity, equity, and inclusion through the power of art. Each year we call upon Hong Kong-based artists to showcase the kaleidoscope of human experiences through their creations, unrestricted by medium.. This esteemed prize not only offers recognition but also the opportunity to exhibit at the prestigious Goethe Gallery and Black Box Studio.
The intricate web of human interactions and their impacts is the essence of ‘Ripple Effects’, a group exhibition showcasing 23 artists shortlisted for the Colours of Humanity Arts Prize 2024. Through a citywide open call, local artists with diverse backgrounds explore themes of inclusion, diversity, and equity, offering a vibrant exploration of what it means to be human in an interconnected world.
Through a multitude of perspectives and experiences, each artwork starts with a small gesture that reverberates into something larger. From restful and social gestures like sewing, cooking, dancing, to flat-hunting and house renovation, these artworks set to challenge norms, spark conversations, and raise questions about societal complexities. Whether it be a moment of personal inquiry or memories of communal encounters, the artworks mirror the ubiquitous truth that every action, no matter how fleeting, can set in motion an infinite chain of reactions, braiding a hopeful narrative in our adaptive communities.
