Family Day at Tai Kwun Contemporary
Welcome to Tai Kwun Contemporary’s Family Day! In parent-child relationships, parents and children serve as each other’s mirrors, just as the demands and judgements we make of one another serve as reflections of ourselves. When we communicate, the words and phrases we use as our main means of expression have the power to create positive outcomes. They can also be twisted and misinterpreted, resulting in negative effects. Family Day encourages parents and children to deepen their understanding of each other's perspectives through artistic dialogue and connection as they explore the possibilities that arise during the creative process.
This artist-led programme welcomes any child aged five or older to participate, accompanied by a parent/guardian.

The Bruce Nauman exhibition features works representing the artist’s entire creative life. Nauman is particularly good at breaking up words and then reassembling them, using what the viewer understands and thinks about an artwork to bring new meaning to it. This Family Day workshop will be led by local artists MUDWORK, who hope that getting creative with words and phrases will encourage parents and kids to talk about how they communicate. Parents and children will create an artwork with light, using words or phrases that they have chosen from their daily interactions to describe each other. Whether the words they choose are funny, light-hearted, or difficult to share, they are certain to open up a dialogue between parent and child. As their words flow across a wooden board, they will see it is possible to appreciate each other, even when they don’t see everything in the same way.
This artist-led programme welcomes any child aged five or older to participate, accompanied by a parent/guardian.
This series of family workshops is presented by Tai Kwun Contemporary in collaboration with MUDWORK.

It's a special and fun experience for both kids and parents.
The event is very interesting and the tutors are very helpful and friendly. Look forward to the upcoming courses.
Very glad to enjoy the event. We really like the neon lights activity . 🤗The staff were very nice too!
love the hospitality and host of the event, though did not expect a full handcraft lesson
家庭日真係好好玩。小朋友有得睇藝術作品之餘，仲可以做一件自己既藝術。有得玩比較少接觸既木工，玩得好開心。
The activities are interesting and suitable for children to participate in. Children can do it by themselves, have fun and use their creativity. It’s a great value parent-child activity
The arrangement of Tai Kwun is not very clear, but the staff is kind and helpful in guiding the location. Unfortunately, I pointed out the wrong location. The workshop instructor is very good at teaching and the activities are very good.
Art work made for family day, the finished product is beautiful. The more than 200 yuan includes one-stop shopping and visiting exhibitions, which is very affordable.
This is a great parent-child activity. Children can drill wood manually and create the finished product with English words they want. They can also have a big meal!
The activity was fun and enjoyable, and I was very satisfied with the finished product. It was a good parent-child activity. I would like to participate in art activities organized by Tai Kwun again if I have the opportunity.
