Creativity is a process. Textures, sounds, and scents could all spark inspiration, allowing us to see shapes, dance in memory, or paint the gestures of winds with our bodies.
Our 2025 theme for PMQ Seed is “Senses in Play”. The five senses familiar to us — vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch — as well as the physical vestibular sense and proprioception, are not only useful receptors, but also tools for creation. By encouraging kids to explore their environment with all seven senses, we hope to foster mindsets that can lead with empathy and respond positively to changes in society.
With a range of literally stimulating activities, our program will be a blast for both action-oriented extroverts and thoughtful introverts. When students take the initiative to explore on their own and make sensory connections, the potential for creative growth may surprise us all.
With the support of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Lead Sponsor, we continue to work with a team of local art and design professionals to present a diverse series of experiences, including the Creative Training Class, Creative Summer Festival, Train the Trainer Workshop, Creative Showcase and Seed Online. We are inviting kids and teens from 6 to 14, educators, and parents to join us — let’s dive into a world of senses and explore the rhythms of creativity in play!
The 10-day Creative Showcase will highlight two key programmes: “Creative Training Class” and “Creative Summer Festival”, showcasing the students’ creative achievements.
