【Season Eight】 Jockey Club Contemporary Art and Literacy Programme Docent Training Workshop
In this era where “everyone is an artist”, we believe that contemporary art is open to interpretation, and everyone can share with others their own ways of seeing. With proper guidance and training, “everyone can be a docent”.
With the purpose of widening the audience base and further enriching contemporary art development in Hong Kong, the Programme aims at equipping docents with the ability to not just show people around and provide context, but also being able to share their unique narration that would spark new ideas and insights.
⚛︎ Docent Training Workshop ⚛︎
The Programme welcomes the general public who are interested in contemporary arts and docents. Participants are not required to have any knowledge of art. Those who are interested in understanding and learning how to narrate art are welcome to apply.
A series of nine lessons and activities of various disciplines will increase docents' observation, interpretation, and appreciation abilities towards contemporary art, as well as communication and docent skills. After training, we expect our docents will be able to utilize the knowledge they've absorbed. Under the guidance and assistance of tutors and project executives, docents will have to at least complete one guided tour in the next seson.
