GE2021-34

Artpeace is a global, student-led organization and registered charity, striving to use art for awareness and advocacy through educational programmes for marginalised communities and artistic productions. With support from F:A:C:E Subsidy, Artpeace just wrapped up their latest endeavour - “Works in Progress.” This was an online theatre production which strived to unite students from HKU, the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, and Griffith University (Australia),andto approach sensitive and intimate issues in solidarity. With the Covid-19 pandemic fomenting exclusions and disconnects, this production hoped to bring people together and shed light on mental health phenomena through a performative piece that engaged the audience on a journey of introspection.

This project is supported by GE F:A:C:E: Subsidy.
