Title A name given to the resource CCHU7003-The Arts Across Cultures Subject The topic of the resource Arts and Humanities Description An account of the resource In this course, we will embark on an exciting journey to India. We will explore the diverse ethnic, religious, artistic and social realities of India by experiencing them in their own contexts. We will examine issues of Indian society, religious beliefs, economy, and globalization through music (Ravi Shankar’s “West meets East,” Sufi Rock), visual arts and crafts (Delhi street art, erotic art, block printing), body art (Mehndi), film (Bollywood and rap), architecture (Taj Mahal in Agra, Hawa Mahal in Jaipur), etc. Through this interdisciplinary exploration, the students will learn the basic tools to critically reflect on the emergence and impact of human creativity and innovation in the context of the arts of India. This will be done, in part, through field trips to what is known as the Golden Triangle cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. We will visit different socio-cultural settings in these three cities, engage in a wide range of experiential learning activities, and interact directly with local students and the community of the Dayalbagh Educational Institute (DEI) in Agra. Students from HKU will partner with students from the DEI to investigate, reflect, and collaborate on a project focused on the crossover between arts and sciences, with a thematic focus on “Nature, Culture, and Cities.” In groups, students will work on issues of cultural diversity and their preservation, environmental issues and sustainable living, specific challenges Indian students face living in cities, and the arts, sciences and technology’s role in meeting those challenges. The aim is to develop an inquiry-based, interdisciplinary, and creative project that will be shared in the form of public dissemination event both in Agra and in Hong Kong.

Title A name given to the resource Morning farm Subject The topic of the resource sustainability community lifestyle environment Description An account of the resource In the video, I shift between my inner monologue and external dialogue while reflecting upon my experiences during our trip to India. I compared different aspects from sustainability, community and lifestyle in Dayalbagh with major cities in India. I further explore how I can implement these positive aspects into an urban culture, such as Delhi, through an artistic dimension by recollecting and analysing the similarities between the ideologies of the Daylabagh community and a Hydrabadist Artist, called Daku. Finally, I try to envision alternate realities and possibilities that would occur if the ideologies from Dayalbagh are translated into Delhi.
