有關展覽 About exhibition

現時香港貧窮人口為135.25萬,女性貧窮人口高達728,400人,佔貧窮人口超過一半(54%),其中不少因為照顧家庭,而未能工作,侷住陷入貧窮中。為了倡議婦女工作權利,過去幾年,本會與愛連心 Les Beatitudes 合作培訓過百名婦女製作手袋、皮革用品等,宣揚本地創作及手作。呼籲男女互助,更請男士捐贈領帶作為材料,支持環保。設計以香港交通公具及文化為主題的圖案,宣揚本地特色及香港故事。

「Tie.Journey.她」展覧的主題是基層婦女怎樣把一條簡單的男仕領帶變身,帶出香港人互動、互愛、互享之的旅。

 

Hong Kong has 1.35 million people living in poverty and over 728,400 are women (54%). Many women are at a disadvantaged position, as they have to take care of their family and cannot work full time. In order to support women in need, SoCO has partnered with Les Beatitudes to provide training to over a hundred mothers on hand made bags and leather goods. We encourage men to support by donating their neckties as material to re-use and recycle, a ”HeForShe” project. Through the handmade art and craft, we retell the story of the city through interesting and uniquely Hong Kong heritage and transportation all via collage designs.

‘Tie.Journey.她’ is a special exhibition created by grassroots sewing mothers and local artists which depict Hong Kong local specialties. It also demonstrates how men and women can bond together and support each other on their life journey by simply sharing a necktie.
