In Seed to Textile 2025, Hong Kong artist Sara Tse drew inspiration from her now-demolished alma mater, Kwai Chung Public School, and led a series of co-creative activities. With the public, she explored how nature and textiles weave into people’s memories, unravelling and reweaving communal experiences.

Tse and ‘Seeders’ – comprising cross-generational alumni and openly recruited art enthusiasts – cultivated plants common in Hong Kong and used them to dye fabric and yarn. The naturally dyed materials, along with archival photographs, were woven onto branches gathered from local trees. Here, the branches are placed in ceramic works resembling candy jars, sitting on rubbings of the school’s classroom floor. The installation summarises their co-learning journey over the year, celebrating the intergenerational bonds nurtured through socially engaged art. By turning nostalgia into collective creation, it explores the transformative power of kindness in a rapidly shifting society.

In the performance on 10 January, Seeders and primary school students wear naturally dyed scarves embroidered by 2,300 CHAT visitors and perform timeless songs about friendship, spreading the enduring power of community.
