INDIA BY THE BAY 2019
India by the Bay is a unique festival celebrating Indian heritage and culture in Hong Kong, co-presented by Teamwork Arts and Asia Society Hong Kong Centre, with support by the Consulate General of India in Hong Kong. Hosted during March 2019, the one week festival presented a wonderful mix of events ranging from music, dance, film, food, literature and art, allowing the Hong Kong public a rare opportunity to personally experience the diversity and richness of Indian history and culture.
In collaboration with the festival, HKwalls helped to organize and co-curate a couple of murals painted by the Vayeda Brothers. Born in Ganjad, India, the brothers’ upbringing amongst Warli culture inspired them to become Warli painters, a traditional Indian artistic style that dates back to as early as 10th century A.D. This art style focuses on capturing the vibrant beauty of Mother Nature and the living world. As such, elements of nature are frequently seen in Warli paintings.
India by the Bay 是慶祝印度傳統和文化的獨特節日,由Teamwork Arts 和亞洲協會香港中心聯合主辦,並得到印度駐香港總領事館的支持。 為期一周的節日於 2019 年 3 月舉辦,呈現了一系列融合了音樂、舞蹈、電影、美食、文學及藝術的精彩活動,讓香港公眾有難得的機會親身體驗印度歷史和文化的多樣性和豐富深度。
HKwalls 與藝術節合作,協助組織並共同策劃了幾幅由Vayeda兄弟 (Vayeda Brothers) 繪製的壁畫。 兄弟倆出生於印度Ganjad,在Warli 文化中成長,並啟發他們成為Warli 畫家。Warli是一種印度傳統藝術風格,其歷史可以追溯到公元10 世紀。這種藝術風格專注於捕捉大自然和生命中的活力之美。 因此,自然的元素經常出現在Warli藝術中。
