Speak in Colours
Venue: Hong Kong Arts Centre

Price: Free
Art is more than technique—it's a way to think about who we are and to share what makes us unique. This workshop isn’t about following rules or fitting into a mold. Instead, it’s a space for real stories, real colours, and personal experiences.
Led by Ahmad Rida Nisar, a Hong Kong-born and raised artist of Pakistani heritage, Speak in Colour brings ethnic minority youth together to turn identity, culture, and everyday life into art. Paint your story, your memories, your vibe—whatever feels true to you. On this canvas, every mark is original, every perspective welcomed.
Let your colours speak for you!
