Established in 2013, by Justice Centre Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize (HKHRAP) has played a pivotal role in discovering and encouraging Hong Kong artists to explore the state of human rights and in turn, has inspired the civic imagination. This year’s Prize was also co-presented by the European Union Office to Hong Kong and Macao.
The prize is run annually and open to all Hong Kong artists who submit artwork around the theme of local or international human rights. Recurring themes in artworks exhibited and auctioned in previous years include the occupy movement, the environment, homelessness, the plight of refugees, forced labour, ethnic minorities and LGBT rights. Entries are judged by an esteemed panel of experts from the local and international arts and cultural community.
26 January 2019 A Village: A programme in conjunction with Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize x Eaton HK
As part of Hong Kong Human Rights Arts Prize x Eaton HK, Eaton HK will host a day of critical programmes under the title “A Village” in response to the exhibition.
Taking as its starting point the notion that “it takes a village”, Eaton HK proposes to explore each individual’s responsibility for social violence. The day will include a film screening of Cannes Palme d’Or “The White Ribbon” by Michael Haneke, a debate on the topic of morality, a walking tour based on murder incidents in Yau Ma Tei, and stand-up comedy and trivia games designed to challenge our preconceived notions of the society we live in.
在今次全新的合作模式下，Eaton HK將會為2018年度的各個獎項得獎者舉辦不同形式的展覽，藝術家包括：蕭偉恒、張馨儀、羅月眉、劉菁兒、Ophelia Jacarini及Art Women X Aanya。展覽將於1月17日到2月7日期間，於Eaton HK中的不同場地舉行，其中包括Eaton HK的獨立藝術空間Tomorrow Maybe。
由Justice Centre Hong Kong於2013開始舉辦，香港人權藝術獎在發掘及鼓勵香港藝術家積極探討各種人權問題上扮演著關鍵的角色，同時讓公眾認識和關注人權相關的議題。本年度的獎項更與歐洲聯盟駐香港及澳門辦事處共同合辦。
