Our bright smiles have been hidden behind face masks for too long. With Hong Kong will end the mask mandate from 1 March, Harbour City invites everyone to share your cheerful faces, especially for the kids growing up during the pandemic. Harbour City has initiated a group action of “Inside Out Project” created by French artist JR and will host a community art project – “Inside Out: Harbour and the City”. Hundreds of infectious smiley portraits will be on display at Harbour City for everyone to soak up the lively vibe in Hong Kong. Everyone is welcome to share your individual portrait with a captivating grin online from 1 to 19 March 2023; or take individual portrait onsite at Harbour City from 17 to 19 March to be part of this meaningful public art project.
The “Inside Out Project” is a global participatory art project created by the renowned French artist JR in 2011 after winning the TED prize in California. Through pasting people’s portraits around cities, communities around the world use public art to get their voices heard, addressing a range of topics like diversity and community. Almost 500,000 people spanning 148 countries and territories have participated in the Inside Out Project over the past decade, including notable projects of Panthéon in Paris and Tower Bridge in London.
Harbour City aims to spread happiness all around by showing Hong Kong people’s beaming faces after three years of pandemic, especially the adorable giggles from toddlers and pre-schoolers who have grown up masked. For this participatory project, Harbour City depends on your participation. Share your smile to brighten someone’s day!
After three years of the epidemic, Harbor City hopes to invite everyone, especially children who grew up wearing masks to participate in this art creation project. Redisplay our smiles to the world and spread happiness everywhere through the smiling faces of adults and children!
