In 2022, DTFS partnered with Hong Kong Palace Museum, inspired by Project Twelve, a cultural and design exploratory project using a theme of the twelve animal signs of the Chinese zodiac. During a 12-year period starting from 2008, an outstanding Asian artist or designer, was invited each year to create a masterpiece sculpture, using the zodiac sign of the respective year as a theme.

Heritage Is Creative Generation is an exhibition of the works created during a six-month long programme, an accelerated, compressed version of DTFS, created out of creative urgency to collaborate during the pandemic. With the team and partners, 12 designers/ collectives are invited to propose and craft a new interpretation of one Chinese zodiac work relating to Project Twelves past works, with their creative spark; whilst adding their independent and creative skills informed by a series of dialogues and workshops, and showcased at Scholars Commons, the Hong Kong Palace Museum, that opens to the public July 2022.

Designers: Adonian Chan (Co-founder, Trilingua Design), Elaine Yan Ling Ng (Founder, The Fabrick Lab), Florian Wegenast and Christine Lew (Co-founder, Studio Florian + Christine), Alexandra Batten & Daniel Kamp (Co-founders, Batten and Kamp), Julie Progin and Jesse Mclin (Co-founders, Julie & Jesse), Bob Pang, Ken Chow (Founder, Yat Muk Studio), Su Chang (Principal of Su Chang Design Research Office), Jacqueline Chak (Partner of EDIT and EDITECTURE), Mic Leong & Soilworm Lai (Stickyline), Tin Lau, and Niko Leung (Founder, Future is Transparency)

Made In Hong Kong, Art Central 2022
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
May 26—29 2022

Made In Hong Kong, is a special exhibition at Art Central 2022, that features the artistic creation of Hong Kong-based independent artists and visual practitioners.

Of the over 650 individual artwork applications received, 65 works by 40 artists were selected to be exhibited.

The participants represent diverse backgrounds, including both professionally trained and self-taught artists, as well as designers and writers.

Their works cover a wide range of media, from painting, photography and sculpture to print and installation, and explore the fabric of their surroundings through multiple senses – visual, audio and tactile.

Some of the artworks on view delineate urban spaces using realistic, abstract, or speculative approaches; some touch upon personal perceptions via analytical or affective expressions.

Prevailingly, the urban and quotidian spaces within the artworks are interwoven with the artists’ memories, dreams, words, research and experiments – presenting visual creations made in Hong Kong with multifaceted perspectives and abundant energies.
