AIRSIDE hopes to promote community and social integration. To this end, we offer artwork tours and exhibition guides suitable for individuals with different abilities and needs. We are fortunate to have the Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong (ADAHK) as our "Art Inclusion Partner", assisting us in planning for individuals with diverse capabilities during the design of our art exhibitions.
We offer special inclusive guided tours and workshops, introducing mall exhibitions and artworks to individuals with different abilities and needs. These activities are led by specially trained staff, inspiring participants to be creative.
1) The “Desire to Fly” exhibition takes centre stage in the opening campaign of the AIRSIDE mall. The journey of imagination begins at the specially curated “Idea Cloud” exhibition space on the 2/F atrium of the mall and extends to the GATE33 gallery on the 3/F. The exhibition showcases a collection of historical artefacts provided by Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited. Alongside these are personal collections contributed by seasoned aviators and collectors, including flight logbooks, photos of the former airport, travel posters, flight maps, old boarding passes and more, all of which illustrate the rich and glorious history of Kai Tak Airport. Echoing a spectrum of visual artworks, installations, and interactive designs created by 21 talented local artistic groups, the exhibition invites the guests to imagine a world beyond the ordinary through multi-sensory experiences. The exhibition will also extend to the G/F of the AIRSIDE mall, where visitors will encounter a real, full-sized single-engine “Beagle Pup 100” aircraft making its debut – the first showcase in a Hong Kong shopping mall. Aviation enthusiasts will have the incredible opportunity to admire this aircraft up close and capture moments with it for an unforgettable experience.
2) Curated by AIRSIDE, the "Be Air Public Art Project" invited local artists and writers to create works based on the theme of "Be Air". Each visual art piece is combined with literature text, forming a unique art form. We hope these works will become accessible public art for the Kai Tak community and the local public, evoking inspirations and illustrating AIRSIDE's vision of culture and art.
Regular guided tours would be held to introduce the public to the artworks, artists' creative process, and the concepts behind them, including sustainability and efficient use of community resources.
