2.18 Make Our Seas Come BLUE Eco-arts Parade,
Talk and Jazz for GREEN Music Concert
ECF: 2016-2017 HK EcoCinema Festival
2017年2月18日下星期六下午1時，將會有多個深圳和香港的環保及文藝團體代表和成員、兩位香港藝術家、香港中小學師生，以及家長和大會成員，一行百多人，以中環皇后像廣場為起點，香港海事博物館為終點，沿中環海旁，進行可能是香港首場生態藝術巡遊 Make Our Seas Come BLUE 藍海生態藝術巡遊，屆時還有講座和 Jazz for Green 音樂會及行為藝術表演！
On 2017 February 18, 1pm - 3:30pm, various members and representatives of the Environmental groups and cultural-artistic organizations from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, together with two Hong Kong artists, over a hundred of Hong Kong Secondary and Primary School students, teachers, student parents and HK EcoCinema Festivalcommittee members will all participate possibly the first Hong Kong Eco-arts Parade--Make Our Seas Come Blue in Central, Hong Kong.
The route of the artistic parade will start at Central Statue Square, crossing along the Central harbor front before ending at the Hong Kong Maritime museum. Ecological Talk and Jazz for GREEN music concert will be held right after the parade. School teachers and students from Five Partner Schools gathered in Buddhist Wong Wan Tin College will share their teaching and learning experience as tutorial classes during the parade.
藍海生態藝術巡遊的生態藝術作品，除了香港兩位藝術家嚴穎嘉和餘榮基的跨媒介行為藝術創作外，大部分是香港5所參與了本計劃5堂共10小時的「駐校生態藝術家工作坊和導修課」學校的學生作品，也是學生的學習成果。為了在巡遊中向途中的公眾表達他們對海洋垃圾和海洋保育的所感所想，不少學生還預備了標語牌作現場展示，但願大家攜手 Make Our Seas Come BLUE，為下一代能繼續享受海洋豐富資源，留下美麗藍海。
The Eco-artworks of the students in the Hong Kong Eco -arts Parade--Make Our Seas Come Blue were inspired and created with the guidance of Eco -arts teachers Mr. Ricky Yeung and Ms. Carissa Welton. Apart from the multi-media artistic creation by the Hong Kong Artists Monique YIM and Rik YU, most artworks were the learning results from the students who joined our eco-arts education programme 「Artist-in-school Eco-arts training workshops」 for 5 sessions in total 10 hours.
In order to express our concerns for the ocean conservation and sea wastes during the Parade, participants will prepare different slogans for exhibition display, hoping to Make our Seas Come Blue, and raising concerns over the sustainability of the plentiful Ocean resources and beautiful blue sea for our future generations.
下周六的正式巡遊歡迎您的參與和同行！發出還我藍海的訴求！

香港的兩位藝術家嚴穎嘉和餘榮基作品 Work of Two HK Performing Artist：
餘榮基作品 Work of YU Wing Kei, Rik
# 行為藝術家餘榮基
作品名稱：黑色廢物送葬魚
作品描述：因為人們都可能知道，魚人是從海中的氣泡而生，如果它來自垃圾的海，它又會是什麼模樣？又會到哪裡去？
# YU Wing Kei, Rik
Title: Blackitsch Rubbish Funeral Fish
Description: As one might know Merfolk borns from the bubbles from the sea, what will it be if it comes from a sea of rubbish? and where will it goes?
# 行為藝術家嚴穎嘉
作品名稱：生存之外
作品描述：以行為、身體、物料，產生意象、象徵，作詩意的隱喻。在香港，海洋垃圾的分類當中，以塑膠袋為冠、捕魚用品為亞。人類的自私及不負責任行為，令塑膠袋、捕魚用品等等，大大損害海洋及海岸的動植物生態。除了為它們帶來死亡，還遺下千千萬萬個身體畸形、千倉百孔、雖生猶死的靈魂。以「生物多樣性為」題材，藝術家身穿白衣，行為過程中以塑膠袋、繩、黑色的粉末、沙、水，白紙、植物.等物料，甚至加入文字，將自身比喻為受影響的海洋動物，用物料與身體互動產生意象及符號，亦會嘗試和在場觀眾以手印或沙畫創作，發生互動關係。藝術家還請來文字合作者王穎兒，創作了一首英文詩，來與她的行為藝術作品跨界合作。
# Monique YIM
Name: Hidden Neighbor
Description: Actions, body, and materials work together to create imagery while symbols convey implications in a poetic way. In Hong Kong, plastic bag ranks the first among marine debris while fishing gear ranks the second. Humans are being selfish and irresponsible to pollute the ocean and to destroy the ecosystem of marine life by leaving unwanted substances like plastic bags and fishing gear in the ocean. Rather than death, this also made millions hidden and innocent creatures into incredibly alive bodies and souls. Using the theme of biodiversity, the artist wears white shirt, uses materials including plastic bags, string, black powder, sand, water, white paper, plants... and even adds texts to make herself one of those marine animals suffering from human's activities. More than using the interaction between the ideology and symbols, she will also try to interact with the audience with hand palm painting and sand painting. The artist meanwhile invited a creative writer, Wiency Wong, to collaborate with her by created a poem.
"Grow up! Grow up and live with a soul as if we have a choice.
Outside underwater city, you cannot hear my voice.
All the way to other side, winds are scratching golden sands.
My life is different from yours but we’re sharing the same land.
With families, I sometimes visit those stunning corals-
Reds, greens, yellows, pinks, purple-blues, and then blues for sorrow.
Earlier it was home, it was my only territory,
And private underground where I breathe in and out freely.
A reminder to us living with a lung or a gill:
To avoid suffocating we better learn self-rescue.
Sound waves from boat engines entertain me and my offspring.
Our eyes, ears, flippers and fins begin dancing then cramping.
For now, I can only swim towards the blind horizon.
Polyethylene, copper, oil as supplementation.
Without solace I am satisfied and I am alive!
Gone are solar power and oxygen, can we survive?"
