The ceramic figurines on display in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai district depict crazy creatures that push the boundaries of the imagination. That is the point.
“Morning Relay” is an exhibition at St James’ Creation (SJC), a platform that supports people with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurological condition that affects how people socialise, learn and behave.
Kasper Lam, SJC assistant arts development manager, says the exhibition celebrates the participants’ artistic journey over the past year.
“For most, it is the first time they have exhibited their works,” says Lam, adding that sketches and photographs are also part of the exhibition.
“By sharing their work and receiving recognition from the community, it encourages participants to continue to develop their skills and pursue art,” he says.
Among the participants is Lam Yuk-ying, who created several ceramic dragons in honour of the Year of the Dragon.
