Karamay Artists Exhibition

In Tagalog, the word "Karamay" embodies the spirit of shared hardship and collective resilience. To mark the 45th anniversary of the Mission for Migrant Workers (MFMW), the Karamay Artists Exhibition serves as both a powerful artistic statement and a significant charity fundraiser. Held at the historic St. John's Cathedral (Li Hall), this exhibition invites the public to explore the vital contributions of foreign domestic helpers who remain the backbone of Hong Kong's domestic care systems.

A Vision of Solidarity

The exhibition features over 50 unique artworks, including prints and graphic works from a diverse group of over 40 artists. The selection highlights the medium of printmaking, a practice deeply rooted in social advocacy. By sharing tools, labor, and creative processes, printmaking inherently challenges individualistic boundaries, emphasizing collective power—much like the spirit of solidarity required to protect the rights of migrant workers in Hong Kong. The works serve as a tribute to those who support families across the city, honoring their resilience in the face of adversity, such as the historic memories of the Tai Po fire and the ongoing struggle for fair treatment.

Supporting the Mission

As a charity fundraiser, this exhibition is dedicated to supporting the MFMW’s ongoing advocacy and shelter services. Your visit contributes to a larger mission of building a community that values equality and mutual respect. The exhibition connects people across different ethnic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds, fostering an environment where we can better empathize with the daily realities of our migrant neighbors.

Exhibition Highlights

The showcase is split into two primary segments to maximize public access:

1. Recurring Weekday Showcases: Held throughout June 2026, these sessions provide a mid-week opportunity for visitors to engage with the works in a quieter setting.
2. The Full Weekend Experience: A more comprehensive viewing session held on June 7, 2026, offering extended hours for the community to gather and reflect on the themes of the exhibition.

We encourage you to visit St. John's Cathedral to witness these powerful narratives and support the continued work of the Mission for Migrant Workers. Your presence is an act of companionship.
