Forum on Community Arts 2018: Community Arts Keywords
社群藝術論壇2018: 社群藝術關鍵詞
2017.03.17-18 | 10:30am – 6:00pm
Lecture Theatre 2, Sino Building, CUHK 香港中文大學信和樓2號演講廳
In the last ten years Hong Kong has witnessed a rapid growth of community arts, when arts as well as social service groups are taking active initiatives in utilizing arts to meet various communal needs. Responding to the urgent needs, many groups jump right into actions and learn the techniques and related knowledge as they move on. Recognizing the needs for support in the elaboration of the practice and understanding of community arts, the MA Programme in Cultural Management and the Centre of Cultural Studies at CUHK have been annually organizing forum in community arts since 2014. In the past, specific topics such as heritage preservation, the silver hair generation, etc., were identified each year, with talks and workshops organized to nurture practical skills, creative planning and to generate discussions within the identified areas.
This year we decided to talk on a slightly different route, focusing on the conceptual and ethical part of community arts. As community arts frequently deals with the marginal and the underprivileged, sensibility and clearly set operational principles are essential. The forum identifies a few ‘keywords’ commonly used in community arts to start a discussion of those frequently used, seemingly simple but in fact highly complex terms, such as community, arts, empowerment and cultural rights. After many years of fieldwork in the community, we have progressed to a point when we need to think about the philosophies and ethics relating to a highly complex form of arts that takes arts out of the market and brings it back to the people.
過去十年香港的社群藝術出現空前發展，藝術和社福機構紛紛籌辦文化藝術活動，以滿足各式各樣的公眾需要。因應社會的迫切需求，不少機構邊學邊做，從行動中積累知識和經驗。有見及此，香港中文大學文化管理碩士課程及文化研究中心，自2014年以來舉辦年度社群藝術論壇，每年針對不同議題如保育、銀髮族群等，借鏡各地經驗，反思在地實踐。論壇並設著重實踐的工作坊，希望引發創意構思和討論交流。
今年我們決定走稍為不同路線，把焦點轉向探討社群藝術的理念和道德等議題。由於社群藝術接觸不少邊緣、弱勢社群，實踐者需要敏銳觸覺和清晰運作守則，實有必要深入思考這方面的課題。本屆論壇將集中探討在社群╱社區藝術常用，看似簡單但其實相當複雜的詞彙如「Community社群╱社區」、「Arts藝術」、「Empowerment 充權╱培力」、「Cultural rights文化權利」等。香港探索社群藝術已有一定時間，諸多想法正在醞釀轉化，我們是時候進一步從理念和道德價值角度，探討這個與社群同在、 互動、共生的藝術實踐類型。
