About the organisation
HASS Lab is currently part of the Hong Kong Institute of Aesthetic Education. Founded independently by visual artist Pak Sheung Chuen and cultural producer Cherry Chan in 2022, HASS Lab is a collective of artists and cross-disciplinary producers dedicated to promoting art and artist thinking as new ways of understanding and valuing society. Working with educators, social workers, and community partners, HASS Lab creates programmes that offer alternative perspectives on ability, success, and inclusion—especially for socially marginalised communities. HASS Lab’s Core Beliefs: - Creativity is a human instinct regardless of ability - Creativity is a response to conditions and constraints in a given context, and is not goal oriented - Art has the transformative power to convert negative energy into positive strengths - Visual language is an innate form of literacy that people of all abilities need to develop to better communicate and understand our increasingly image-based world
Mission
The Hong Kong Institute of Aesthetic Education began as the Aesthetic Education Programme, founded in October 2001 by the Hong Kong Art School (a division of the Hong Kong Arts Centre) and the Tomorrow Art Education Institute. The programme was formally registered as a charitable organisation in Hong Kong and renamed the Hong Kong Institute of Aesthetic Education. Its mission is to provide high-quality arts education that nurtures creativity, reflection, and cultural empathy across all ages and backgrounds.
