虛空龐克通勝工作坊 Void Punk Almanac [VPA - mm24 - 1] Workshop

若有人兮山之阿，被薜荔兮帶女羅 — 《山鬼》 屈原
虛空龐克是一種龐克次文化，其核心概念是顛覆邊緣化少數群體直接或間接面臨的非人化或妖魔化。它擁抱於社會而言不夠人性的東西，這種人類排他和狹隘的定義導致虛空龐克拒絕人性。 這當然意味住虛空龐克本質上包容了每一個真誠行事的人，因其固與人倫背反。
尋找那個可能在人類社會規範的虛空中迷失的一部分自己：既是有毒汞星人，亦可以是河西獅姬，又或是爪廬亭魚妖，也是嫉妒的南瓜武士 - 最後都是自己中的另一個被忽略的佢。就一起記下各自的方法如何再次呼喚那個於空虛中的渠／她／他／牠／它／渠／彼／伊／佢，編寫虛空龐克通勝 VPA - mm24 - 1。
歡迎任何年齡、性別或背景。透過自我認同探索和發展、化妝和裝扮以及其他創意練習，參與者將加深自我意識，揭示自己身份和故事的不同面向, 從而重構那個迷失於人間的自己。

Voidpunk is a punk subculture that is centred around the idea of reclaiming dehumanization or demonization faced as a marginalized minority, whether directly or indirectly. Its focus on embracing what society says isn't human enough which leads Voidpunks to reject « humanity » under the exclusive and narrow-minded definition. This of course, led Voidpunk to be inherently inclusive of everyone there who is acting in good faith, so it is the opposite of humanity in that way.
Seeking for a part of yourselves that may have been lost in the voids of human society's norms: The corrosive Mercury's extraterrestrial enticing in the corners, the female felines of the west, the echoing of Cthulhu's shadows, or Envy the Pumpkins Samurai? In the end, they are all the lost humanities from the daily. So, together, we pile up the scriptures of VPA - mm24 - 1 and document the ways of calling upon him/her/it/their/... from the void again.
VPA - mm24 - 1 project confidently offers a stimulating and engaging workshop for individuals who seek to explore and express their Void punk identities. Through self-identity exploration and avatar development, makeup and dress-up, and other creative exercises, participants will deepen their self-awareness and reveal alternative aspects of their identities and stories. This inclusive environment values individuals of any age, gender, or background and welcomes everyone to participate

很久以前，有一群外星人在宇宙中游盪，渠等隱藏在裂縫之間.... 佢用臆測性寓言與虛無龐克論盡危脆生命、遷異和不順服。這個中性的角色受科幻片和馬戲團演員啟發，表達了深深的失落和憂患。
我之所有俱在身；坎坷至星辰

Once upon a time, there were a group of alien people wandering around across the universe, hidden between the cracks….Their discourse surrounds the ideas of precarious life, displacement and dysphoria through speculative fabulation and void punk. The gender-neutral persona takes inspiration from sci-fi and circus performers, expressing a profound sense of loss and sadness.

Chris Chung 鍾楚翹
鍾楚翹，曾因為大學生活各種迷惘，同夥伴創立左「失眠會舍」，實驗一系列社區項目，探索由下而上改變的可能性。近來開始追求健康生活，醉心於柔術，希望好似小智咁樣環遊世界打道館。自覺與人類自覺與合不來，Chris 希望擴闊宇宙間社交圈子，籍 VPA - mm24 - 1 從「非人」嘅角度開始，重新去搵返能夠令自己脫離失語的「非人」語言。

Chris Chung Cho Kiu, due to the boring university life, he and his friends co-founded the “House of Insomnia” (失眠會舍) to explore possibility of bottom-up change through a series of community projects. Currently, he sleeps quite well and has begun to pursue a healthy lifestyle, devoted to jiu-jitsu, and hope to travel and compete around the world like Ash in Pokemon. Chris feels that he doesn't fit in with humans and hopes to expand his social circle in the universe. In [VPA - mm - 24] project, starting from a "non-human" perspective, he is trying to rediscover the "non-human" language that can help him overcome his speechlessness.

余榮基 RiK Yu
余榮基（RiK）是一位充滿熱情的藝術家，透過展現、繪畫、裝置和傳統遺產工藝等不同的藝術形式來探索「自我」的概念以及它如何融入當今世界。 作為[VPA -mm24]計畫的一部分，在即將到來的虛空龐克年通勝工作坊會中，余氏將承擔赤魔導師一職，目的是從虛空中呼喚那失落的自我部分，重而重構那個存在於自我中的 「非人」的存在及其與當代之間的關係。

RiK Wing Kei Yu is a passionate artist who explores the idea of "self" and how it fits into today's world through different art forms like performances, drawings, installations, and traditional heritage crafting. As part of the [VPA-mm24] initiative, in this upcoming Voidpunk Almanac workshop, Yu will take on the duty of Red Mage, hallooing the lost part of the “self” from the void - in order to reconstruct the existence of “non-human” within the “self” and its relationship to the contemporary.
