A forum and a guided art tour will be held this Saturday as part of MyLand Culture’s ongoing two-year, community driven initiative “Red Market Art & Cultural Fest 2025-2026”.
The upcoming forum, titled “The Many Possibilities of the Market: Forum on Community Sustainability”, will feature experts, scholars, artists and community design practitioners from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. It will take place at Sifang Art Space in the Asia Industrial Building, located opposite the Red Market on Avenida do Almirante Lacerda, according to information provided by the Macau-based arts and cultural organisation.
Held mainly in Cantonese, with some presentations in Putonghua, the event will last from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., with admission at 50 patacas per person. The statement said that the event will “focus on the possibilities of market transformation, community design and artistic intervention as models for market development, and methods for identifying community needs”.
The Cantonese-language art tour, meanwhile, is titled “Contemporary Art Experience at the Red Market” and is part of “The Market is Also a Contemporary Artwork” residency programme that was launched in mid-March that invited Hong Kong artist Pak Sheung-chuen. Pak, “known for his long-term engagement with community-based practice”, will lead the tour as part of residency programme, the statement said.
The tour from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. will showcase the “creative journey, community explorations and artistic outcomes” of the entire residency project.
Members of the public can also visit an exhibition featuring works co-created with participants of workshops led by Pak as part of the residency programme until mid-June from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
