想匠試驗所  Think About Handcraft , 2022 - 2023

A youth development project consisting of 10 classes. Inspired by Alice's personal experience as an arts administrator and natural dyer, she acted as a mentor and tutor to show the young people how natural colours and crafts can bring joy and relaxation to everyday life, inspiring them the idea that there was not just one way to achieve the goals, and how to we use natural colours as a medium to promote social justice, such as cultural inclusion and gender equality.

​

Students have to use the natural colours around them to tell their stories in a journal or a DIY installation. Their works were displayed in the Central Market at the end of March 2023.
