A Tribute to Yasi
A Tribute to Yasi: Poetic Journeys in Foreign Lands
3月1日，請來港大黃克競平台，我們讀詩、印詩、聽音樂、講故事、吃點心、呷一口來自世界各地的熱茶──誰說香港不能是異鄉呢？
Being our first stop, the Book Club will revisit Yasi’s essays, poems, and short stories published in 1970s. Titled, ‘Journey of Yasi: Between Hong Kong and Foreign Lands’, the seminar will take us from Hong Kong to the world and re-examine Yasi’s works from the perspective of Hong Kong as a global city. Another highlight event is an exhibition in response to Yasi’s poetry works. You are invited to translate your observations on the world within and around you into various mediums of visual artworks. Together with Yasi’s poems, selected artworks will be showcased at a two-week exhibition.
The tribute will culminate with the highlight event on 1 March (Thu). Join us for a cosy afternoon that commemorates Yasi with poetry, music, storytelling, Chinese dim sum, and tea from around the world.
