HKGBW 2018 - Green Bazaar (29-30 Sep)
Wandering and shopping in bazaars become a popular local culture in recent years, particularly among families, youngsters and art buffs. To target these segments, our one-of-a-kind upcycling bazaar featured handcrafts made of upcycled building materials or waste materials by young artists. This ‘Green Bazaar’ was held on 29-30 September in Wan Chai, infusing green building and eco-living ideas into stimulating workshops so as to inspire participants to gain news insights in upcycle and craftsmanship. The shared space also served as the platform for 16 handcrafters to showcase their creativity on upcycling and transforming. Apart from being amazed by the creativity behind each item, over a thousand participants learnt the story of building lifecycle and product transformation during the two-day programme. There was plenty of flair including discarded wood pallets creations from Hong Kong Baptist University, cement paintings from Moldflip and visual art project from Chan Pak-kin. Partnership with the WWF solar cafe gathered extra like-minded fellows and brought further engagement and networking.
