Jean-Paul Sartre is a modern French philosopher, writer and intellectual. The Wall is his only collection of short stories, which contains five works, i.e. “The Wall” (Le Mur), “The Room” (La Chambre), “Erostrate” (Érostrate), “Intimacy” (Intimité) and “The Childhood of a Leader”.
The reading group will focus on two of them, and they are “The Wall” and “The Childhood of a Leader”. By such close reading of two short stories, we hope to study how Sartre’s existentialist ideas are reflected by his literary works and, how literature represents philosophical ideas.
Participants will receive a free copy of the book. An iGPS unit will be offered. Register now!

In recent years, public and community art activities have been held one after another. Communities seem to have become an object to be created, and a cultural scene scattered everywhere.
The Department of Art and Design, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, and the M.A. in Cultural Management Programme, The Chinese University of Hong Kong have jointly organized four lectures about community arts. Two of them will be held on 28 Oct 2022, inviting stakeholders of individual projects to share their cases, reflect on and discuss the path they have taken, and explore how the experience enriches the imagination of “community”.
