Welcome to an artful journey delving into memories, personal tales, and self-expression. In these workshops for children and their families, we’ll uncover layers of your identity, values, and the importance of home through creative activities. Together, we’ll shape personal timelines, illustrate crucial moments, and infuse significance into numbers and calendars. Prepare to reflect, share your stories, and express yourself using diverse art tools. It’s an opportunity to navigate your unique journey through the language of art!

These workshops are presented by bookliner publishing and education.
“bookliner” was established by two artists who believe in the transformative potential of art to enrich lives and inspire self-discovery. We emphasis personal growth, storytelling, memories, and narratives, and connecting art to well-being. We place a strong emphasis on the value of observation, recognizing its capacity to facilitate introspection and provide a profound understanding of both ourselves and our surroundings. Our approach to creativity is context-driven, responding to conditions and constraints rather than being solely goal-oriented.

In this workshop, you will depict yourself in a silhouette line drawing,
recalling a significant moment in your life, expressing your gesture from that moment on the paper.
In this workshop, you will count up your life in numbers, such as how many days you have been in the world, how much time you have spent in bed, and how many heart beats you have experienced so far. Using this information, you will create your own 2024 calendar, giving meaning to each number.
In this workshop, you will create your own personal timeline with paper, writing the stories that matter to you on the timeline. Finally, you will colour it and be guided through folding it into a zine for a unique experience.
Kongtinue, a UK-registered CIC, was founded by a team of Hong Kong social workers and educators. They aim to support children who have moved from Hong Kong to the UK, guiding them through cultural and environmental transitions. Even as these youngsters grow up away from Hong Kong, Kongtinue aspires for them to retain their native culture and values. The recent grant from the Greater London Authority empowers them to further their mission, including initiatives like the Hong Kong Cultural Fun Day.
