THE MILLS PAPER

Your V I T A S L E F

Foreword

“Finding a myriad of reasons to celebrate every day is the key to having passion for life.” 「熱愛生活的關鍵，在於重覆的日常中， 找到各種慶祝的理由。」

受疫情影響，生活的可能性減少了，令人很容易感到疲倦和困惑。可是， 日子愈是單調，我們愈是要建立生活的儀式感。它令我們重視細節，以珍 惜的目光看待每一日。認真回想，就會發現美好的回憶，很多都與慶祝和 儀式有關。 今期 The Mills Paper 透過充滿創意的節日提案，希望啟發大家在日常生 活中找到只屬於自己的，令人產生期待感的慶祝理由。一起努力過生活， 每刻的生命都值得享受。

For over a year, the pandemic has set limitations on life as we know it, making it easy to become drained and lost. However, the duller our days are, the more imperative it is for us to build rituals. Rituals help to draw our eyes to the details and refresh our perspectives on the everyday, and many of our most treasured memories are intimately connected to rituals and celebrations.

In this issue of The Mills Paper, through a delightful assortment of festive ideas, we hope to inspire you to find your own reasons to celebrate. Every moment of life is worth enjoying.

Find Your Festivity

你的私藏節日 Find Your Festivity 這段時間以來，我們的生活都被迫改變。然而，好心情也是可以「傳染」的，只要一個真誠而 滿足的笑容，就可以啟發另一個人開始尋找自己的快樂。 仔細思索，為什麼我們需要節日呢？或者可以說，我們都需要在重覆的日常中，保持對未來 的某種期待感。其實，只要我們以新鮮的目光看待生活，就會發現每天的存在也值得我們好好 慶祝。在〈你的私藏節日〉，南豐紗廠與我們分享了一些慶祝日常的生活方式，而且想像了 10 種特別的節日，希望帶來久違的新鮮氣息。 一起想像屬於自己的節慶，使每日的生活也能夠過得豐饒而充滿意義。

Find Your Festivity

These days, our lives have changed. This can cause anxiety and uncertainty, however, it is much easier than you think to spread positivity and encourage others to do the same — start with a smile and inspire others to rediscover their joie de vivre!

Festivals have played an important part in human history for centuries. Perhaps it is because we all need a sense of anticipation in the repetitiveness of our daily lives. When our perspectives are refreshed, it is not hard to find reasons to celebrate each and every day. In Find Your Festivity, The Mills shares different ways of celebrating everyday life and imagines ten unique festivals to bring back the joy of celebration. Let’s explore your very own festival and let life take on refreshed colours and meaning!

慶祝日常生活的方法 How to Celebrate the Everyday 支持本地農業 Support Local Agriculture

去期待即將發生的新鮮事物。 From a cup of morning coffee to burning a piece of incense to wind down, habits are daily rituals that remind us of what is important in our lives before we get caught up in our to-dos.

享受與陌生人的交流 Converse with Strangers

發展一個以興趣為前題的副業 Start a Side Business

在開放的空間，我們會與各種陌生人相遇，

工作以外，你有沒有一些擅長的事情或興趣

也有很多可以開啟對話的機會。可能是咖啡

呢？將興趣發展成一個小小的副業，能夠帶

店裡沖煮得剛好的咖啡，可能是別人牽著的

來極大的滿足感，亦能夠將真正喜歡的事物

可愛小狗，也可能是想向對方請教拍出好照

分享給其他人。你會發覺，每跨過一個小小

片的技巧。放開自我，享受與陌生人的交流，

的難題，都讓自己快樂得想要大肆慶祝。

成為連結社區的重要部份。

Aside from your job, what are your talents and hobbies? Developing an interest into a small side business is hugely satisfying and there is nothing quite like sharing what you love with others. You may just find that every little step along the way is a big reason to celebrate.

Public spaces offer many opportunities to meet people from all walks of life. Have a conversation about anything — from a good coffee to a cute dog, and even how to take great photos — and enjoy connecting with strangers as a way of connecting with the community. 紗廠坊 The Hall

Exhibitions always offer new perspectives, challenging us to be open to life and the world.

Why not start a habit of visiting galleries and museums — or better still, curate an exhibition to tell your own story?

你的私藏節日 It’s Your Festival

1

告別「單襪」日 Single Sock Day

在匆忙的時刻，總會遇上一些突發的事情令情況變得更忙亂。 其中一個具體的例子，就是趕出門時找不到消失的「另一隻 襪子」。每年定下一日，在這天告別所有的「單襪」。除了 是一種斷捨離外，也是對往後的自己所立下的一個新標準。 Inconvenient things always happen at the most inconvenient time. A prime example of this is the missing sock. From this day onwards, set a date in the year to bid adieu to all your single socks — it’s a practice of discipline as well as clearing physical and mental clutter!

2

紀錄片日 Documentary Day

與虛構的劇集不同，紀錄片有著獨特的魅力。觀看一齣好的 紀錄片，可以讓我們更接近另一個真實生命的故事，或是對 某件事件有著更透徹的理解，甚至可以對地球產生親密的情 感。定期觀看一齣紀錄片，尋找觀看世界的新角度，刺激自 己想像的方式。 Documentaries have a certain charisma compared to scripted stories. Watching a good documentary shines light on different issues and even helps us to bond with what’s around us. Regular documentary viewing will help stimulate the way you see the world.

計劃開展日 Planning Day

保養與維修日 Maintenance Day

全家福日 Portrait Day

當生活變得愈來愈繁忙，很容易就接受了自己的可能性逐漸

往日，一件工具的生命可能比起一個人還要長久。在物品被

攝影普及以前，一家人總會在特別的日子拍一幀全家福，這

減少。可是，這只是自我施加的障礙。每年定下一天，在這

快速淘汰的今日，我們好像已經忘記了如何保養美好的事物

幀照片往往盛載了獨特的意義。通訊變得容易的今天，反而

個特別的日子裡開啟一個長久以來就開始想像的計劃。可能

了。定期清潔、保養珍愛的工具，這是與它們建立長久關係

缺少了這種共同的回憶。每年定下一日，到影樓邀請專業攝

是學習一種語言，開始收集郵票，或是寫一本小說。不用對

的唯一方法。

影師拍一輯「稍嫌正經」的照片。看似沒必要的儀式，會在

結果有過高的期望，以自己的節奏去接觸一件全新的事物就 足夠了。 As life gets busier, it gets easier to believe in less of yourself.

Every year, set a date to start a plan that’s been on your mind — whether it be learning a language, collecting stamps or writing a novel. Don’t worry about the result — simply enjoy doing something new.

In the days past, the lifespan of an object easily outlasted that of a person. Fast forward to today’s consumerist society and it seems like we have long left behind the beauty of loving maintenance. Give your tools a regular clean — it’s the only way to make them last.

多年以後散發難以想像的光芒。 Before photographs were everywhere, families usually gathered on special occasions to take a family portrait. These portraits go on to become treasures. With instant communication these days, such shared experiences and memories have faded. Why not set a date to go to a studio for a professional set of some rather “proper” photos? Some of the most beloved things start from seemingly unnecessary rituals.

6

角色扮演日 Role Play Day

在日復日的學習和工作中，我們難免希望自己是另一個人， 有著更鮮明的性格，過著更刺激的生活。何不約定在一日的 時間裡，扮演成一個渴望已久的角色。滿足想像，回到原來 的生活後，也許會產生這樣的一種想法：原來普通的自己， 也是很不錯的。 Sometimes we wonder what it would be like if we were somebody else. In our pursuit of a more exciting life, why not find a day to play the role of a character of your dreams? Perhaps you may just find that back in your life, ordinary old me is not so ordinary at all.

7

明信片書寫日 Postcard Day

你有多久沒有提筆寫字呢？親手寫下的筆跡，保存了每個人 獨特的個性和情感。經歷時間的洗禮，還會成為令人珍而重 之的信物。與幾位親密的朋友約定一天，互相交換親筆書寫 的明信片，交換不會在社交媒體上輕易顯露的情感。

8

When was the last time you wrote something? Handwriting holds and reveals each person’s unique character and temperament, and becomes treasured items over time. Gather with some close friends and exchange hand-written postcards for sentiments that social media could never express.

聆聽日 Listening Day

我們都疏於練習聆聽的技巧。以「聆聽」為前題度過安靜的 一天，可以聆聽電台，與城市其他陌生人分享一種共同的連 結；也可以聆聽一場現場音樂表演，與此時此刻產生共鳴的 震蕩。又或者是最單純的，聆聽另一個人的說話。真正重要 的東西，都隱藏在暫停的沉默中。 Many of us lack listening skills. How about a quiet day to prioritise listening? Listen to the radio and share a connection with strangers, or listen to a musical performance and be in the moment, or quite simply, listen to someone else. The most important things are often hidden in silence.

9

重置日 Reset Day

「創造節日」日 Find Your Festivity Day

將手機或電腦重置回原廠設定時，我們總會感受到一種無以

就是今天！創立一個屬於你的節日，創造獨特的慶祝方式。

名狀的滿足感。偶爾，我們也需要清理生活多餘的部份，騰

只是單純的想像力，已經令人感到充滿活力。然後最重要的

出足夠的空間讓自己呼吸。關掉通訊設備，將整日的時間留

是與其他人分享想法，一起以微小的行動改變身處的社區。

給自己。可能是大掃除，也可能是什麼都不做。我們總需要 定期重新啟動，以保持對生命的熱情。

When we reset our phone or computer to factory settings, for some reason we feel an unexplained sense of satisfaction. From time to time, life also needs resetting to clear the clutter for space to breathe again. So go on, turn off your devices and spend a day with yourself doing anything or nothing at all. Reset to refresh and reinvigorate.

Today’s the day! Create a festival of your own and create your own way of celebrating. Imagination alone is enough to enliven!

Don’t forget to share your ideas with others and make a small difference in our community.

Small Gatherings

一起見證時間的變化：甜點師們的 Journal Meeting Witnessing Time: Patissiers’ Journal Meeting 一日之間主理人 Kenry Chan、Lora Yuen

一日之間的主理人們有獨特的聚會儀式。無論店裡的工作有多繁忙，她們 都會定期相約一天，將新購買的文具放入工具箱帶回咖啡店。關門後，她 們就會將文具素材攤滿整個桌面，在手帳上隨著想像發揮。這種既溫柔又 充滿魅力的聚會，她們稱之為 Journal Meeting。 翻閱她們的手帳時，會看見以不同的印章、和紙、貼紙、即影即有照片 等等素材記錄下來的生活點滴。與朋友一起創作手帳，除了可以交換使用 文具，還可以一起討論排版、顏色等等有關美感和技術的話題。 自從開了自己的咖啡店後，她們大部份時間都在一日之間度過，手帳 上填滿了店裡的細節，例如甜點設計、試味筆記等等。可是，記錄得最豐 富的，還是準備開店前的幾個月。她們從世界各地找回了與咖啡店相似的 吊燈、桌椅的印章，再蓋在手帳上。與繪畫不一樣，不是常常能夠與適合 的文具相遇。一切都講求緣份，有時候，就是幸運地剛好遇上。 隨著時間，手帳的紙會變黃，印台的墨水會變淡，有時更會染上咖啡的 痕跡。一起見證時間的經年變化，這就是與朋友一起分享嗜好的美麗之處。 Kenry Chan and Lora Yuen, founders of Between Haru Kenry and Lora, founders of Between Haru, have their unique way of gathering.

Regardless of how busy their patisserie cafe is, they regularly find a day to close the doors, spread their tools on the table, and get ready to share and journal.

They call these “Journal Meetings”.

Perusing their journals, you will find daily moments captured through stamps and stickers, washi paper and polaroid photos. Their process of journaling is filled not only with tool sharing, but also conversations around the aesthetics and techniques of layouts and colours.

Since founding their cafe, Kenry and Lora spend most of their time at Between Haru. Their journals are filled with the particulars of the cafe, from dessert ideas to tasting notes. Most interestingly, notes from the months before the cafe opened show stamps of pendant lights and chairs sourced from around the world. Perhaps the most unique aspect of stationery is that, unlike drawing, it is not easy to encounter the right stationery every day.

As time passes, pages turn yellow and the ink of stamp pads fade. Some even bear traces of coffee. Perhaps the beauty of sharing hobbies with friends lies in witnessing the passing of time together.

一日之間的 Journal Meeting 有點像藝術家的即興 Art Jam。在日本、台灣、 韓國等地，都有很多由文具愛好者組成的群體。有時候，她們都希望能夠在 香港找到分享共同嗜好的知音人。 Between Haru’s “Journal Meetings” are much like spontaneous art jams. With stationery lovers commonly gathering in places such as Japan, Taiwan and Korea, Kenry and Lora hope to find fellow stationery lovers in Hong Kong.

家居就是露營：無論身處何地，你都能保持一顆開放的心 Camping at Home: An Open Heart Wherever You Are CARRYin 主理人 Kelv Chan、Edchi

能 夠 在 山 系 選 物 店 CARRYin 遇 到 的 產 品， 全 都 是 主 理 人 Kelv Chan 和

Edchi 的愛用品。無論身處什麼地方，他們都身穿一身戶外服，彷彿能夠 隨時動身，前往未知的遠方。不只是一種嗜好，他們說，山系已經成為他 們的生活方式。 受疫情影響，不少城市人都選擇探索香港的郊野地區，Kelv 和 Edchi 當 然也不例外。可是，他們的玩法卻層出不窮。曾與朋友駕駛露營車到戶外 度過周末，也曾預先泡一瓶冷泡咖啡到山頂品嚐。最近，他們最特別的體 驗是幾位朋友各自帶一包咖啡豆，在戶外磨豆、生火燒水、沖煮咖啡，分 享來自不同產地的咖啡豆。在戶外圍著火爐，一邊喝著冒蒸氣的咖啡，一 邊研究沖煮的道具和手法，感覺好像特別美味似的。 其實，不一定是郊區，Kelv 和 Edchi 說：「有時候朋友到店探訪我們， 我們往隨行杯倒一些飲品，帶一張摺疊椅子，就可以到天台談天。」山系 道具的機能性和流動性讓我們無論在家居、戶外或是任何場合，都能夠以 開放的心態互相交流。「這是一種重視當下、交流和自由的生活風格

」

他們這樣總結。

Kelv Chan and Edchi, founders of CARRYin Everything you find at urban outdoor store CARRYin is personally recommended by its founders, Kelv Chan and Edchi. Always dressed in outdoor clothing as if ready to head off to a distant destination at a moment’s notice, urban outdoor is not only a hobby but a way of life for Kelv and Edchi.

Under the pandemic, many city dwellers choose to explore Hong Kong’s rural regions. Kelv and Edchi are no exception. From spending the weekend with friends in a camper van, to preparing cold brew to tackle climbing the peak, they have found endless ways to experience the outdoors. Recently, they asked friends to each bring a bag of coffee beans from different origins and as they sat around the fire, ground the beans, boiled water and brewed coffee together.

Discussing brewing tools, flavours, and brewing methods as they sipped steaming coffee was a unique experience for all.

“Sometimes when friends visit us at the store, we grab some drinks and a foldable chair and head to the rooftop to chat,” said Kelv and Edchi, “It doesn’t just have to be in nature.” The mobility and versatility of urban outdoor furniture allow us to be ready for communication and connection wherever we are, whether it be home, outdoors or any other setting. “We value being present, open and free,” they concluded.

Small Gatherings

音樂、威士忌與無盡的話題：設計師們的晚餐

Music, Whiskey and Endless Conversation: Dinner with Designers Book B 主理人 Renatus Wu

對上一次令設計師 Renatus Wu 悉心準備的聚會，剛好就在進行訪問前的 一個星期五。其中一位親近的朋友準備移民，幾位同為設計師的朋友在

Renatus 的家為他餞行。「我本來就有宴請朋友的習慣，」他說：「但這 一次，每個細節也經過我的精心設計。」 聚會前一個晚上，Renatus 設計好一份精緻的菜單，確保沒有出席者不 喜歡的食材。菜單上除了前菜、主菜和甜點，還有根據餐點搭配的餐酒。 聚會當日，他到灣仔居所附近的小店購買新鮮的食材。「除了設計，我最 喜歡做的事情就是下廚。」他說：「某程度上，兩者有很相近的地方。可 是親手處理食材，總是能夠開放我的感受能力，令繃緊的神經放鬆下來。」 餐後的談話才是真正令人緬懷的時光。昏暗的燈光下，幾位認識多年的 設計師在 Renatus 為每人特別挑選的音樂中細口品嚐威士忌，談著過去瑣 事和對未來的想像。偶爾沉默，一起聆聽音樂的瞬間，每個人都分享了當 晚的一小片回憶。 無論如何，都要用心生活，不然以後就沒有回憶了。 不是嗎？ Renatus Wu, founder of Book B The last time designer Renatus Wu carefully prepared for a gathering was the Friday just before the interview. One of his close friends was preparing to move overseas so a few friends, also designers, gathered at Renatus’ house for a farewell. “I’ve always invited friends over, but this time was special as I designed every aspect,” said Renatus.

On the night before the gathering, Renatus designed an exquisite menu, checking beforehand that any unfavoured ingredients were off the list. The menu included an entree, main and dessert, with wine pairings. On the day of the gathering, he picked up fresh ingredients from a nearby grocery store in Wanchai. “Besides design, cooking is my favourite thing to do,” he said, “In some ways designing and cooking are very similar. But the process of cooking always opens my senses and relaxes my mind.”

After dinner, conversations flowed. Under the soft glow of the lights, surrounded by music carefully selected by Renatus to each person’s taste, these longtime friends sipped whiskey and talked about the past and the future. In rare moments of silence, music filled the room and memories resonated.

Life is about being present in every moment, otherwise we wouldn’t have memories, right?

雖然 Renatus Wu 經營的是書店，但是他亦非常重視音樂帶來的獨特體驗。 由於需要同時兼顧不同企劃的關係，他習慣以不同音樂作為轉換心態的工具。 與朋友相聚時，音樂往往帶來意想不到的效果。有很多對他而言重要的談話， 都在音樂的輔助下輕易地孕育出來。 Renatus runs a bookstore, but he also enjoys the unique experiences that music brings. Juggling multiple projects at work, Renatus uses music as a tool to help him shift his mind and mood. When gathering with friends, music facilitates many important conversations, often leading to surprising results.

南豐紗廠致力與學校及機構合作，提供體驗及學習機會，以鼓勵創意文化 交流，傳承歷史、探索未來，與他們一起延續香港故事。 The Mills strives to work with schools and organisations to provide learning and experience opportunities in order to foster a culture of creativity, share legacy and explore the story of Hong Kong into the future.

舊生重聚日 Alumni Day 今年我們邀請了過往幾屆曾參與 Techstyle 暑期創業的同學回到紗廠，與我 們交流近況。重聚日以社區設計入題，一直與南豐紗廠合作的設計師 Terry 與同學分享不同以回收物料製作的設計實例，整個設計的生產周期從物料 收集、展出至回收重用，令設計的應用更廣泛，使用期限得以延續。另外， 設計師 Jane 也向同學分享外國的實例，並邀請同學積極參與紗廠即將舉 辦，與社福機構合作的青年社區設計活動，一同做出為社會上有需要的人 士而度身訂造的圍裙設計。 This year, we invited students from previous The Mills Techstyle Summer Programs back to The Mills to share about their recent endeavours. With social design as the theme, longtime collaborator and designer Terry shared with students many real world examples of upcycling designs. From collecting to upcycling, the design process extends the lifecycle of textiles and broadens the application of these designs. Further, designer Jane also shared many overseas case studies and invited students to join a social design program creating custom aprons for members of the community which will be launched by The Mills in partnership with local community organisations.

學校節日在紗廠 School Program at The Mills 啟發學生是南豐紗廠其中一個主要理念，因此我們積極舉辦以半日或一日 為框架設計的體驗活動，並可按學校需要靈活安排，讓學生親身體驗紗廠 的承傳精神及創新意念。活動內容包括但不限於南豐紗廠、CHAT 六廠導 賞團及工作坊，亦可按學習需要為學校舉辦不同類型活動。 今個暑假，紗廠與胡素貞博士紀念學校及保良局雨川小學合作，分別舉 辦半日親子參觀活動，行程範例如下：

1. The Mills Tour (60 minutes) 2. CHAT Tour (30 minutes) 3. The Mills Fabrica Tote Bag Screen Print Workshop / Handmade Apron Family Workshop (60 minutes) At completion, each student received a tote bag or apron

Techstyle 暑期創業 Techstyle Summer Program 南豐紗廠於 2017 年起為中三至中四學生舉辦「Techstyle 暑期創業」計劃， 讓同學於比賽過程中到訪多家企業，與一眾設計師、商業夥伴、初創企業、 非牟利機構和紡織業界的專業人士交流之餘，亦能參觀設計師的工作環境， 親身體驗設計、繪畫紙樣和縫紉的過程，獲得產品開發、供應鏈及生產、 銷售與營銷等基礎商業知識。 Since 2017, The Mills launched Techstyle Summer Program for Secondary 3-4 students. During the program, students visit many organisations to experience different working environments and the process of designing, sketching and sewing, as well as obtaining insight into fundamental business know-how including product development, supply chain and manufacturing, and sales and marketing. Students also have the opportunity to communicate with designers, corporate partners, start-ups, non-profit organisations and experts from the textile industry.

發思考。 In 2019, The Mills collaborated with Dr Catherine F. Woo Memorial School to host a series of activities in support of the school’s Civic Education program. As a landmark with rich history telling the story of Hong Kong, The Mills provided engaging and inspirational material for civic education. Through learning about the history of the textile industry, students were encouraged to understand more about civic responsibility and broaden their perspective and mindset.

My Own Rituals

以安靜的餘裕，開啟一日的生活 Start your day with a moment of silence

一日之間，我們會與不同的人溝通，遇上各種尚待解決的 難題。隨著時間過去，變得愈來愈匆忙，好像時時刻刻都 趕著去做某件事情，沒有聆聽過自我的聲音。 醒來後，點一枝線香，讓自己有安靜下來的餘裕，瞭 解內在的真正感受。以這種儀式開始一日，會更清楚在繁 忙的生活中，到底什麼才是真正值得追求的目標。 On any given day, we communicate with many different people in a variety of situations. Before we know it, life becomes a race to get things done, and we neglect our own thoughts and needs.

After waking up, light a stick of incense and give yourself a moment of silence with your inner thoughts and feelings.

Begin your day with this ritual to clear your mind and focus on what truly matters.

簡單也好，豐盛也好，早餐就是最動人的儀式 Nothing beats breakfast, light or hearty

My Own Rituals

真正讓人過得好的，並不是奢侈的事物，而是日常一些毫 不起眼的細節。 清晨的空氣中，沒有什麼比塗滿牛油的吐司和炒得剛 好的蛋更讓人感受到平淡的幸福感了。配上一杯乾淨明亮 的咖啡，好像有一種魔力，讓人的心情保持愉悅，面對接 下來的煩瑣雜事。 Often we forget that it’s the basic details, rather than luxuries, that make our day.

Nothing beats a well-buttered toast and perfectly scrambled eggs in the morning to make you feel blessed. Add a cup of coffee and you’re ready for a great day!

清潔身體，是一場必須認真對待的儀式 Take cleansing seriously

繁忙的工作以後，只想躺下來，草草帶過一些不得不做 的事情。這並不能夠令精神回復，反而令自己更加疲倦。 和整理家居一樣，清潔身體也是一場必須認真對待的 儀式。在清潔過程中，你才真正卸下了負擔，回到最清 爽、接近原初的自我。 After a busy day of work, all we want to do is to lie down and do as little as possible. Have you found how that seems to tire you even more?

Like tidying your home, cleansing your body is a ritual to be taken seriously. Truly let go of the day in the process and emerge a lighter, cleaner, fresher you.

採購生活用品，是一個想像生活的過程 Create your ideal life starting with daily necessities

你還記得嗎？童年在超級巿場被堆得滿滿的貨架包圍，感 受到的那份新鮮的好奇。長大後，採購生活用品成為了一 個不得不進行的儀式，變得瑣碎而無聊。可是，如果你轉 換一個角度來看，在貨架間用心挑選一件貨品，其實是一 個塑造生活樣貌的過程，能夠刺激想像生活的方式。 今天和昨天看似沒有什麼分別，卻會因為某個儀式的存 在，讓你覺得一切都重新開始。 Do you remember the excited curiosity you had as a child amongst the rows of packed shelves in the supermarket? As adults, shopping for daily necessities has become an errand, with all the wonder gone. Look at it another way: careful selection of items is a conscious decision on how we live our lives. The difference between today and yesterday can lie in the rituals we perform and the mindset we perform them in.

好好吃飯 Eat well

晚飯的重要性，更多時候是與記憶的密切關係。在一間 感覺良好的餐廳用餐，留在記憶中的，除了食物的精緻 味道，還有枱布的質感、與伴侶刻意壓低聲浪的對話、 高雅餐具的碰撞聲音。這些體驗會留在腦海裡，隨著時 間變得閃閃發亮。換句話說，講究細節，能夠製造各種 可以回味的記憶。 答應自己，就算只有一個人，也要好好吃飯。 The importance of dinner lies in how closely it intertwines with our memories. A homemade meal is memorable not only for its taste, but also the texture of the tablecloth, the sound of cutlery in action and conversations with loved ones. Over time, these experiences resonate in our hearts and minds. Promise yourself that you will eat well, even when alone, because a good meal, with all its delights, is worth savouring.

一個人的時間 Time for solitude

也許是閱讀，也許是書寫日記，也許是小酎一杯，以你 喜歡的方式，以一個人的時間終結每日的生活。 說到底，所謂的儀式感，就是以認真的態度看待生活 微小的事情。擁抱生活中的儀式感，讓我們在重覆的工 作中，在難以掌握的未來中，以個人的方式賦予生活獨 特的意義。

Whether it be reading a book, journaling, or having a drink, end the day with some alone time to reflect on the day and wind down for a restful sleep.

At the end of the day, rituals are simply a way of giving thought to the way we live amongst the repetition and chaos of our daily lives. When we embrace everyday rituals, we can give our own meaning to life. 丹丘蒸留所 Tankyu Distillery

樂 趣 指 南

M M E R U S Y L F I U M N A F UI D E G 與孩子一起發揮想像力，度過一個超乎現實的夏日！ Let’s get creative with our kids and spend a summer that is out of this world!

荒島生活 Island Living

2

泥漿派對 Mud Party

到荒島生活一段時間，可能是每個孩子心中

每個孩子都喜愛一腳跳進水窪，濺起水花的

的夢想。興建一間小木屋，圍著營火品嚐親

爽快感覺。忘記限制，與孩子一起放縱在泥

手烤的魚……凡事動手，一定會帶來莫名的

漿中翻滾、蹦跳、追逐、打泥漿戰……父母

滿足感。

也會開始想念童年的時光吧。

Living on a faraway island is probably a dream that every kid has. Build a small wooden house and feast on some home-roasted fish around the fire. Everything is much more satisfying when you do it yourself.

Every kid loves jumping into a big puddle and feeling the water splash! Find your inner child, get dirty in puddles and mud with your kids and embrace the fun and freedom of childhood!

夏 日 家 庭

駕駛飛船，與外星人打招呼 Space Adventure

宇宙如此龐大，一定存在著其他的生命。趁著不用上課的日子，出發吧， 找尋還未有人見過的風景，以孩子的目光重新認識未知的世界。 Our universe is so vast it is little wonder that other lifeforms exist. Holidays are the best time to step out in search of new scenery and rediscover the world with a childlike perspective.

製造一部機械人，像嬰兒一樣照顧他 Robot Baby

發揮創意，每天研發古怪的三文治 Sandwich Creations

與孩子一起到城市不同的角落收集零件，依照孩子的想像製造一部機械人。

鼓勵孩子激發創意，一起研究材料、反覆實驗，每天都研發一種新奇的、

一起耐心教導他說話，一起躺在草地，一起初次看海和夕陽。

古怪的三文治。

Scavenge for different parts around the city with your kids and build a robot using your imagination. As you teach the robot to interact, take a moment to lie down on the grass, listen to the sounds of the sea and enjoy nature together.

Collaborate with your kids from mixing ingredients to even carrying out experiments and invent an original sandwich every day!

6

什麼也不做 Do... nothing

每當夏日來臨時，父母總是害怕孩子浪費時間，將時間表排得滿滿的。可 是，對孩子來說，最難忘的記憶，可能就是在家裡舖上一張地蓆，一起躺 在地上，安靜等待太陽的落下。 Every summer, parents pack their kids’ days with activity after activity for fear of wasting time. Perhaps the most memorable activity to them is nothing but lying on the rug at home and spending quality time together, like waiting quietly together for the sun to set.

A Date with Seeds

A Date with

與種籽有約

A Date with Seeds 「與種籽有約」為南豐集團「世界之約」計劃下的系列活動。「世界之約」 以韌性城市的概念出發，是一個以可持續發展、社區設計及文化藝術為主 軸的社區項目。期望透過不同主題的社區項目引發大眾對身邊事物的觀察， 並反思如何在急促的社會發展下，重拾與大自然之間的約定。 生活於全球化的城市當中，我們享受著便利的生活，隨時隨地都可以吃 到來自世界各地的美食。然而，亦是相同的原因，令我們的味覺被馴化， 忘記了食物其實源自於大自然和土地。今個夏天，南豐紗廠帶來「與種籽 有約」食農企劃，透過與一群關注本地農業的團體合作，希望和大眾一同 學習並思考種籽與土地的關係，以及不時不吃的重要性，藉以推動本地農 業可持續發展。

Inspired by the concept of a Resilient City, the “In Time Of” programme is Nan Fung Group’s community initiative aimed at connecting people from all walks of life through social partnerships in sustainability, social design, culture, and arts. Under various project themes, the public can observe what is around them and reflect on how to rebuild the bond between humans and nature in a fastchanging society.

Living in a globalised city, we are lucky to be able to enjoy foods from all over the world anytime and anywhere, without thinking about whether certain fruits or vegetables are in season. Our tastebuds have adapted to this convenience and we have forgotten that food is in fact sourced from the land and nature.

This summer, The Mills launches “A Date with Seeds”, a new food and farming project exploring the link between seeds, land, and the importance of seasonal food. Working alongside local agricultural organisations, we hope to promote local sustainable agriculture practices.

紗廠農墟 Farmer Market 「與種籽有約」希望提供一個平台讓大家能與本地農夫直接交流，了解食物 的來源及本地種植的發展現況，共同學習如何尊重土地。南豐紗廠連結了 香港有機生活發展基金（SEED） ，在 7 月至 8 月期間於紗廠舉辨農墟及不 同的食農工作坊，讓大家能認識農作物的用途多樣性及親身跟農夫學習如 何選購當造的農產品。 透過種籽來說故事，從學習到消費模式的改變讓消費者也能成為支援本 地農業可持續發展的推動者。

“A Date with Seeds” seeks to provide a platform for improved understanding on our food sources and the latest developments in local farming so we can learn how to respect our land and live more sustainably. Together with Sustainable Ecological Ethical Development Foundation (SEED), The Mills holds a farmproduce market and various food-and-farming workshops on our rooftop farms in July and August. Participants can explore the diverse and different uses of farm produce and learn from farmers on how to pick the best crops.

Getting to know stories through seeds will let us learn and change how we consume in the daily life, as well as become advocates of local farm and sustainable development.

To consume seasonally means to primarily eat foods harvested or produced in the current season. This eating habit can benefit both our health and nature.

Crops grown during off-seasons require more fertiliser, and possibly an artificial environment. These farming practices can lead to increased carbon emissions, soil degradation and long-term environmental damages.

In July and August, Organic Greenfield, an organisation based in Tsuen Wan that has long promoted “community-supported agriculture” by arranging produce co-purchases and holding farming workshops, has set up a pop-up store in The Mills selling exclusively seasonal foods. All products will be made from seasonal produce and tell the story of local farming and land. Buyers receive their vegetables with information about farming seasons and the farms that they come from, strengthening the connection between farmers and consumers.

Trunks and branches of plants are nutrient deliverers during planting and growing periods. Once the plant is harvested, the fruitful fibers are incredible ingredients for making papers.

Workshop collaborator Lomfafair will pass on this traditional paper making technique by using natural materials in a sustainable way to create a unique texture and warmth of “Authentic Hong Kong Paper”.

Plant fibers come from trunks and branches of local produce at The Deck of The Mills. We hope to make good use of every part of the plants in order to make a specially hand-made paper with seeds. Seed will be integrated into paper through the making process, participants could plant a new plant afterwards.

「紗廠絮語」 Welcome to the Spinning Factory! 于一蘭：直到我們再度相擁 Yee I-Lann: Until We Hug Again 《共享墊堂》 Come Closer Open Stage @ Tikar Emoji

This summer, CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile) will present Yee I-Lann: Until We Hug Again, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Yee I-Lann, an internationally acclaimed contemporary artist from Kota Kinabalu, the State of Sabah, Malaysia.

The exhibition showcases past and current works by Yee that offer a postcolonial reading of the Southeast Asian Archipelago and engage with the multi-ethnic and multicultural nature of the region. Speaking on themes of communal art-making for sustainability and preservation of nature and culture, the exhibition and its affiliation programmes engage its audiences with solidarity, compassion and humour. The exhibition shows not only the transcultural influence between Hong Kong and Malaysia but also common threads in terms of colonial impact over local culture and lifestyles.

Visitors can expect to see newly commissioned works including one inspired by classic Cantopop songs as well as a special immersive installation at The Hall that invites their participation with heartwarming performances from local talents over the course of several weeks. A variety of hands-on experiences and workshops around themes of heritage and textile at The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery will also be available.

Exhibition opens on 1 September and concludes on 7 November.

種學織文

Seed to Textile

我們穿的衣物由布製成，布大多紡或編自纖維，有些纖維以植物紡紗。這 是經歷一年多的社群項目「種學織文」的發想——從紡織物製作過程追溯 根本。 種子萌發於 2019 夏季項目，來自印度邁索爾的合作夥伴 Krac-A-Dawna 有機農場訪港，與本地農夫及染匠交流他們的營運生態，並介紹引以自豪 的自家種、染、織的藍染棉質衣飾。 到了 2020 春季項目，加藤泉的委託作品是種有植物及手繪石頭雕塑， 其中一組種了與 Krac-A-Dawna 有機農場同一品種的木藍。去年夏天，我 們收割那株木藍，加工後便成為我們的第一瓶藍泥。 憑著這瓶藍泥，我們逐步展開「種學織文」之旅。今年夏天，我們將總 結實驗結果並展示藝術面向的探索。適逢南豐紗廠同期推出以天然染技為 題的「自然之色」， CHAT 六廠亦會舉辦由「種學織文」引發的藍染體驗 活動。

The textiles we wear are made of fabric. Most fabrics are made from woven or knitted fibres, some of which are derived from natural plants. CHAT’s project Seed to Textile, a year-long community project, traces down textile manufacturing to its origin.

The seed was sown when Krac-A-Dawna Organic Farm, CHAT’s collaborator from Mysore, India during Summer Programme 2019 visited Hong Kong and introduced to local farmers and dyers their operation ecosystem and their proud products made of home-grown and -spun cotton and self-processed indigo.

In Spring Programme 2020, participating artist Kato Izumi created a commission artwork that incorporates living indigofera tinctoria, the same species growing in Krac-A-Dawna Organic Farm. After some processing, the indigo leaves that CHAT harvested last Summer have become their first jar of indigo pigment.

With this homemade indigo, CHAT embarked on the journey of Seed to Textile. This summer, CHAT is delighted to wrap up the experiment and showcase their artistic explorations. Simultaneously with the Colour of the Earth exhibition at The Mills in the same period, CHAT will present the project and invites the public to join them in the accompanying indigo dyeing related workshops.

Q—Fabrica Lab is made up of the Design Lab, Fashion/Textile Lab and Hardware Tech Lab. How does the environment and facilities stimulate the creative process?

T — Our Hardware Tech Lab provides machines such as 3D printers, laser cutter, power tools and electrical workbench which are very helpful for members with a technology background. The Design Lab is more focused on software skills. Our computer workstations are fully equipped with design and CAD software and are also host to the latest fashion design software such as CLO and Browzwear.

Usually, those are quite difficult to access for the public, so having them available for our members makes a big difference in the way they can approach their workflow.

Our Fashion/Textile Lab not only has state-of-the-art machinery and sewing equipment but also sources a variety of textile samples from manufacturers around the world.

Designers, students and recent graduates can find samples made from entirely new materials and keep up with the latest trends. Lastly, through our industry network, we can also provide our members with technical and professional support based on their needs.

Q—Can you share some interesting episodes while co-working with different creative units at Fabrica Lab? T — Recently, together with NMES Group, one of our newer incubatee companies, we created prototypes for a new version of their “tech suit” which comes equipped with a special conductive carbon membrane. It was interesting figuring out how to work with this new material and

technology, including how to process it into the right shape efficiently and integrate it seamlessly into the final garment. It is always an amazing opportunity to be involved with current and innovative projects.

Q— Fabrica Lab provides techstyle workshops to the public. In what ways do you think these workshops benefit people from non-textile or design backgrounds?

T — In the age of fast-fashion, most of the public today is disconnected from the things they wear and use.

Our workshops aim to bridge that gap a little by showing people the involvement and care that is put into creating a garment. In addition, by bringing in new technologies and techniques into our workshops, we hope to show the public that these are very contemporary issues and encompass other subjects such as sustainability, community, and advanced technologies. By providing youths with this knowledge as well as tools, skills, and opportunities, we hope to foster new talents so that they can move the industry in the right direction with new ideas and projects.

Q—How would you describe Fabrica Lab? T — Innovative, unique, creative, educational and interactive. These are all very important aspects of the work we do at Fabrica Lab. Q—Lastly, what change does Fabrica Lab hope to create?

T — Inspiration, awareness, and innovation are our core goals for change at Fabrica Lab. They all work together to help us to create more sustainable techstyle futures.

藝術，一場人生的修練 Art is a Lifelong Practice 常霖法師 Ven. Chang Lin

數年前，林嘉欣策展了日本書法家井上有一的展覽，前往參觀時被他簡拙 而有生命的字體深深吸引。機緣下借用了朋友一個空置辦公室來嘗試了一 個月，當時刻意捨棄毛筆、墨汁、宣紙等傳統書法工具，改用油漆掃和乳 膠漆在皺摺的扣布上來畫。 在不斷變化的過程中，嘗試以頓斷一切思維的經驗創作了一些大字作 品，當時想到有機會可以辦展覽來跟大家分享，於是請關本良導演把創作 過程拍了下來，最後剪接成「攝影」、「創作」和「修行」三段紀錄片，在 剛過去的《「紡」如人生 — 常霖法師禪藝展 2021》現場播放。 設展的概念配合了南豐紗廠的理念，把紡織元素放進展覽當中。以一條 由不同物料編織成的作品，寓意像人生一樣，在展架上從頭到尾彎彎曲曲、 高低起伏地貫穿多幅充滿禪意的攝影及大字作品，藉著展品帶出我在人生 中不同的感悟，反映萬事萬物時刻都在不斷變化。根本沒有所謂的完美或 不完美，在困難和逆境中反而可以學習和進步得更多。 其實，日常生活與佛法禪修是可以融合起來的。了解藝術、創作和修行， 就仿如人生一樣，沒有分別，也不能分開。面對事情時假如懂得嘗試改變 角度，問題會容易解決得多。 A few years ago, actress Karena Lam curated an exhibition for Japanese calligrapher Yūichi Inoue. Visiting the exhibition, I was deeply moved by his simple yet expressive calligraphy. When the opportunity arose, I borrowed a friend’s empty office for a month to try it myself. During that time, I intentionally replaced the traditional tools of ink brush, ink and rice paper with a paint brush, latex paint and crumpled cloth.

Through the experience of clearing my mind of all thoughts, I created some calligraphy paintings. I asked director Kwan Pung-leung to capture my creative process which has been edited into three short documentary films, “Photography”, “Creativity” and “Practice”, and shared with you all through the exhibition “Weaving Lives - Zen Art Exhibition by Changlin Fashi 2021”.

The concept of the exhibition is interwoven with The Mills’ vision of textiles. Representing life, a single length of fabric, woven from a variety of materials, forms a continuous axis linking the irregularly spaced artworks in the exhibition. Through the Zen photography and calligraphy artworks, I shared sentiments from life, reflecting on the impermanence and changeability of everything in the universe. With no such thing as perfection or imperfection, we can learn and improve even in the most difficult circumstances.

Just as Zen practice and daily life are intertwined, art, creativity and practice cannot be distinguished nor separated. Problems are much easier to solve when you simply learn to change your perspective.

南豐紡織於 1954 年由陳廷驊博士成立，是香港當時產量最 高的紗廠之一。南豐紡織原有六座廠房，其中一至三廠已於

90 年代重新發展。其餘三座於 1960 至 1970 年間落成，名為 南豐紡織四、五、六廠，現已活化成為嶄新的南豐紗廠 (The Mills)，佔地約 260,000 平方呎。三大支柱分別為南豐作坊、 南豐店堂、 CHAT 六廠。

Nan Fung Textiles was founded in 1954 by Dr. D. H. Chen and grew to become a cornerstone of the territory’s dominant textile industry in the booming manufacturing era of the 1950s. Nan Fung Textiles initially comprised 6 factory buildings named Mills 1 through 6 respectively. While Mills 1, 2 and 3 were redeveloped in the 1990s, Mills 4, 5 and 6, completed between 1960-70, are the buildings that have been transformed to become The Mills today. Together, The Mills now covers roughly 260,000 sq. ft. and houses 3 pillars: Fabrica, Shopfloor and CHAT (Centre for Heritage, Arts and Textile).
