Culture Care with Connie Lam (HKU '96)

Culture Care is everyones business. Everyone can — and I gratefully acknowledge that many people from all sorts of backgrounds do — contribute to the common good. These conversations are open to all people of good will. To make culture inhabitable, to make it a place of nurture for creativity, we must all choose to give away beauty gratuitously.

As part of our reflection on the values of Culture Care, IAMHK is organising the first event this year in the form of a dialogue with Connie Lam (Hong Kong Arts Centre). Come join us for an evening of sharing.

Date: Tuesday, 25 April 2017
Time: 7:30 – 9:00 pm
Venue: Watermark Community Centre, 5/F, 6 Wilmer Street, Sai Ying Pun
Language: Conducted in English
Free Admission

Enquiries / RSVP: culturecarehk@gmail.com
