About the event
Let sounds be our tour guide! Collaborating with Harmony (dimdimmama), our activity will start off with her sharing of a picture book, 'The Best Sound in the World', at To-day Bookstore on Cheung Chau. A strolling around Cheung Chau will follow, allowing us to experience the sceneries through our ears in forms of sound. We will also visit some elderly fishermen on the island; together we will walk down memory lane to look into their contact with sounds during the good old days on the boats!
Harmony Li (dimdimmama) is a local Cheung Chau-er. She started to record local stories more than 10 years ago. Now, as the mum of two daughters Amelie and Averie, she enjoys bringing storybooks to the community to share with children on the island.
So Wai Lam moved to Cheung Chau a few years ago. She mostly works on illustration and graphic design. Her works concentrate on observing, listening and illustrating daily life, through which she could learn about the place she lives in.
