Athena’s Army 將於9月中面世


無論過去兩年在香港還是現在流亡在外的日子,支援手足一向是一件很重要的事情,為了更有效協調資源,助流亡手足安頓離鄉別井的生活,亦令移英的香港人能夠更容易做到資源共享,守望相助,Athena’s Army即將成立英國生活支援平台— 驛站。

驛站將提供8項服務。

1. 家長屋配對
招募本地寄宿家庭,分為緊急、短期和長期三種住宿,跟據不同情況配對最合適的家長和手足,協助雙方制定入住協議。

2. 家長車配對
面對英國昂貴的交通費,很多手足選擇做宅男宅女去節省使費,家長可以將預先計劃好的交通行程和多出的座位數目放到驛站提供順風車的協助,手足可減低外出成本。

3. 物資轉讓
可將家中多餘物資放到驛站供有需要手足認領,既環保又幫到人。

4. 貨品寄賣及服務刊登
人人專長都不同,於這裏大家可以自由協商形式交換/售賣貨品或提供服務。

5. 專欄
提供不同領域的文章供讀者閱讀,包括由英國人撰寫有關對香港事的看法、本地律師的法律貼士、英國手足有關申請政治庇護的分享、香港專欄作家的藝術文化、政治、休閒閱讀文章等。

6. 政治庇護諮詢
我們將聯同另一個專責協助手足申請政治庇護的組織提供資訊和經驗分享。

7. 社區支援
舉辦港人社區活動,例如畫班、運動比賽等。申請政治庇護或流亡日子不易過,在漫漫等待的過程中,我們能以共同興趣聚首,互相扶持。

8. 其他活動
除了驛站,Athena’s Army會不定期舉行有助推廣香港民族的活動。

下一次活動:

2021年9月10-19日
《香港不自殺聲明2019》展覽

未來的日子,多多指教

【英國展覽香港不自殺聲明2019】
【手足生活支援平台—驛站】

我不會自殺,因為我必須等到敵人隕落那天。

不自殺聲明,是過去式也是將來式。
2019我們寫下不自殺聲明,2021,我們努力生存下去鬥長命。

Athena’s Army將於9月10至19日舉行《香港不自殺聲明2019》展覽,展覽以文獻紀錄形式展示,並由加拿大、英國等地方的藝術工作者以不同形式的作品回應主題,令更多人知道香港的自由是用生命來換取的。

同期,Athena’s Army將推出生活支援平台— 驛站。

無論過去兩年在香港還是現在流亡在外的日子,支援手足一向是一件很重要的事情,為了更有效協調資源,助流亡手足安頓離鄉別井的生活,亦令移英的香港人能夠更容易做到資源共享,守望相助,Athena’s Army即將成立英國生活支援平台— 驛站。

驛站將提供家長屋、家長車配對、專欄、政治庇護諮詢等8項服務。

黎明來到之前,讓我們照顧好自己,照顧好自己人,活著看敵人隕落。

【I won’t suicide declarations, 2019 Hong Kong】
【Athena’s Army support platform 】

// I will not commit suicide, because I have to wait until the day the enemy falls. //

The exhibition will take place in Manchester city centre on 10-19 September,2021. It contains “I won’t suicide” declarations from 2019 Hong Kong protests, in the format of written documents and videos. While each letter reveals the determination of the writer to protect his/her hometown, it also is an indicator of how oppressive and brutal the governing body was. The video documentation of the arrested protesters declaring such at the protesting sites, will also help audience members to have a more realistic understanding of Hong Kong protesters’ situations in 2019.

Besides the documentation, we have invited contemporary artists and art groups from Hong Kong, United Kingdom and Canada. Their work will respond to the exhibition title in mixed media formats, and will help nurture and develop the future visions of Hong Kong, based on the unforgettable memories from the past.

At the same time, we are launching our supporting platform – Athena’s Army.
This platform aims to help settling Hong Kong protestors who are in exile to the UK. Quite a number of them are seeking asylum, having no identity and are full of worries on accommodations, food and other necessities.

Together, let us stay alive. Let us stay strong.

《遺書》Story Telling節錄

”由細到大,從來都冇擔心過返唔到屋企。
玩到幾夜都好,去得到旺角,就一定返到屋企。
而家,我哋去到好遠好遠嘅地方,原來真係會搵唔到返旺角嘅路……”
今日正式開展,多謝大家光臨,兩場live show都有好多人嚟聽。睇到大家咁投入,仲一齊喊一齊唱,真係好感動🥺
呢個展覽入面每一隻字、每一幅畫、每一張相,都係我哋香港人嘅血同汗,我哋唔可以俾佢哋白白流走。嚟緊幾日,希望大家可以叫更多朋友嚟,將香港人嘅故事流傳下去。

The exhibition launched today. Thank you for coming. Many audiences attended both live shows. Seeing everyone's involvement, cried and sang together was really touching🥺

I hope that everyone will consider it worth joining the exhibition. Every word, every painting, and every scene all is the blood and sweat of our Hong Kong people. We can't let it go. In the next few days, I hope you can call more friends to pass on our story.

回應葛珮帆「博士」專欄

**********

因擁有俗稱「文憑工廠」巴基斯坦 Greenwich University 博士學位而被香港人恥笑為假博士嘅葛珮帆女士,早前於東方日報的專欄,撰寫有關本組織現正舉辦嘅《香港不自殺聲明2019》嘅文章,因為已經冇人睇東方嘅原因,Athena’s Army用咗接近一個月先留意到呢篇專欄,現向假女士,oops sorry係葛女士作出以下回應。

首先多謝葛女士寫啱我哋展覽標題,我哋自己人有時都寫唔啱,但係竟然連標點符號、年份所有嘢都寫啱仲要放喺啱嘅位置。

第二,葛女士漏咗我哋地址,展覽於曼徹斯特城嘅市中心舉辦,詳細地址為5 Kelvin Street, Manchester City Centre, M4 1ET. ,葛女士可以快啲叫國安嚟拉我哋。

嚟到英國做二等公民,生活過得好悠閒,我哋展覽每日只會開三四個鐘,文末會提供埋開放時間,費事你哋摸門釘。

第三,我哋團隊實在估唔到原來葛女士都有返啲文化氣息,會關心海外嘅藝術文化展覽,令我明白到原來人不可以貌相,實在令我哋獲益良多。

第四,今日係我哋展覽嘅第二日,嚟緊展覽仲有七日直至到下個星期日,希望葛女士坐言起行,快啲買張機票過嚟,我哋一定會好好招待你。

以上

祝葛女士早日完成到一個正統嘅博士課程。

Exhibition Highlights - Fading Hand in Tears

Artist: Yiu-Wai Chu
Artist Statement: Some traces are helplessly forgotten in my mind, and can only be sublimated into another form to continue forever.

由展覽地下上一樓的梯間,會看見一系列印畫。朱耀煒的作品有多個閱讀方法:

那隻手像是在煙霧中拋出雞尾酒,也可能是正在嘗試撲滅正在燃燒的催淚彈,也可能是在煙霧離漫中嘗試抹掉淚水

歡迎大家跟着藝術家設定的題目去想像和解讀,而當一步一步向上走的時候,就會見到隻手的形象逐漸變淡,可以解讀為時間嘅消逝,也可以解讀為要一路再向前走… 要進化、演變… 

於是上到去的時候,映入眼簾嘅係阿朱另一個裝置作品

Exhibition Highlights - Water Traces

Artist: Yiu-Wai Chu
Artist Statement:
The imperturbable drawing machine replaced me in expressing my perseverance. Using water as a metaphor, it is trying hard to draw a stone or even a mountain. Although the water can’t leaving any traces, it just transforms into another form. Eventually, it will return and flow onto the canvas to create new traces.

Let’s try to sketch a forgotten moment.

阿朱另一個裝置作品,是以一個機械代替他本人嘗試畫出石頭甚至山脈,當然亦都會引申到大家想像愚公移山的故事:究竟我們可不可以帶住我們過去的經驗同記憶,向前走,將大石移走呢?或者建構我們自己的山脈?

究竟如何才能做到呢?

就要大家一起思考了。

素描簿是讓大家畫低眼前的影像。至於代表甚麼,或者只有當刻的自己才知道。
