Intangible Cultural Heritage Artist-in-Residence

Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) emphasizes traditions passed on from generation to generation, forming links between the past and the present and providing cultural identity and cohesion for communities.

There are a number of temples in Hong Kong that represent significant heritage and embody varying degrees of religious, historical, cultural, architectural, and community value. This project aims to publicize and promote local temples, enhance students' understanding and appreciation of traditional culture, and draw their attention to heritage conservation.
