親子造聲工作坊： 召喚川龍的聲音記憶

活動詳情

講者｜嚴瑞芳

語言｜粵語

費用｜免費

創意並非只屬於藝術家——它是我們生活、思考，並與世界連結的一部分。「開放工作室」的系列活動邀請參加者挖掘自己的創意潛能，透過探索川龍的智慧、聲音與故事，發現這片土地的獨特魅力。通過親身參與和深度交流，我們將一同揭示創意如何深植於日常生活之中，無論是有意識的還是潛移默化的。

在這個工作坊中，參加者會學習聲音是由震動而來的原理：身體的擺動、物件的律動，或輕滑重的敲擊。配上川龍三寶——竹、蕉、松製成的樂器，大人和小朋友一起透過造聲享受聲音創作的樂趣，並從中激活川龍的聲音記憶。

「川龍視覺誌」開放工作室日期

日期： 二○二五年四月二十六、二十七日，五月二日至五月十日 (此期間每天開放)

時間： 11:00-18:00

我們於去年正式啟用後展開了「川龍地方誌研究計劃」，邀請來自不同領域的單位與藝術家，分階段在川龍進行田野考察與口述歷史，並結合多元的歷史材料，致力建立一個關於川龍的視覺檔案。研究範疇涵蓋日常生活、民間智慧、地景人類學、文化風俗、自然生態及民族植物學。

嚴瑞芳呈獻作品：《一條坑那條路》

Sui Fong 以聲音為媒介，收集童年故事和川龍聲境，學習小朋友在「苦中作樂」的智慧。這些故事將啟發一系列關於聽覺記憶和川龍樂器的創作。

即使在資源匱乏的六十年代，人與環境的交流和對生活的嚮往從未遏止，這對於營營役役的，忘記了自己也曾是貪玩的發明家的大人們，是一個重要的提醒。通過訪問村民，Sui Fong 重組玩樂路線圖，並製作從訪問中啟發出的「川龍樂器」，例如執柴執松針去透火，若不是苦差，執與拾可以是一種演奏的動作嗎？山中的風聲，消失的物種，是開啟記憶的鑰匙，她以此作為媒介，邀請更多村民和公眾探索聲音如何引發回憶與想像川龍生活，引導人們重新思考人與環境及生物互動的情景，一起回憶和想像，從而再創造記憶。

Event Details

Facilitator｜Yim Sui Fong

Language｜Cantonese

Fee｜Free

Creativity does not belong solely to artists—it is a part of how we live, think, and connect with the world. The "Open Studio" series of events invites participants to tap into their own creative potential by exploring the wisdom, sounds, and stories of the land, discovering its unique charm. Through hands-on participation and in-depth interactions, we will together reveal how creativity is deeply embedded in our daily lives, whether consciously or subconsciously.

In this workshop, participants will learn the principle that sound is created through vibration—whether it’s the motion of the body, the rhythm of objects, or the light and heavy strikes of tapping. Using instruments crafted from Chuen Lung’s “three treasures” (bamboo, banana, and pine), parents and children will come together to enjoy the joy of sound-making and creative expression, whilst reactivating the unique auditory memories of Chuen Lung’s past.

“Chuen Lung Visual Research Archive” Open Studio

Date: 26-27 April, 2-10 May (Open everyday during this period)

Time: 11:00-18:00

After officially launching last year, we initiated the "Chuen Lung Visual Research Archive," inviting various organizations and artists from different fields to conduct field studies and oral histories in Chuen Lung in staged phases. By combining diverse historical materials, we aim to establish a visual archive about Chuen Lung. The research scope covers daily life, folk wisdom, landscape anthropology, cultural customs, natural ecology, and ethnobotany.

Sui Fong Presents: "A Stream A Path"

Sui Fong uses sound as a medium to collect childhood stories and the soundscape of Chuen Lung, exploring "the wisdom of finding joy in hardship" from children’s perspectives. These narratives inspire a series of creations surrounding auditory memory, sound guides, and Chuen Lung instruments.

Even during the resource-scarce 1960s, the connection between humans and their environment, as well as the yearning for life, never ceased. For adults who are engrossed in daily labors and have forgotten their playful, inventive selves, this serves as a crucial reminder. By interviewing villagers, Sui Fong reconstructs playful routes and creates “Chuen Lung Instruments” inspired by these oral histories. For instance, what kind of melody might emerge from picking watercress? Could the act of collecting firewood and pine needles for fuel, often viewed as a tedious chore, be reimagined as a performative gesture of play? When recording and reconstructing fleeting memories of mountain winds and disappearing species, are we, in essence, creating fantastical new forms of life?

The fictional instruments inspired by these interviews serve as keys to unlocking memories. Using these as a medium, she invites villagers and the broader public to explore how sound can evoke recollections and reimagine life in Chuen Lung. By doing so, she guides people to rethink the dynamics of human, environmental, and ecological interactions. Through collective remembering and imagining, she fosters the recreation of shared memories.
