Man Hong Lam

community - educatie - installatie - sociaal-maatschappelijk - design

Man Hong Lam's art practice encompasses installations, sculptures, and drawings. Lam is constantly seeking magical moments where stories, human emotions, and materiality converge, with attention to technical details. Her goal is to convey a specific emotion or story through objects that provoke interaction between human and object, thereby creating unexpected experiences and emotional awareness.
Additionally, as an art educator, Lam organizes initiatives aimed at promoting integration and connection between art and people from diverse backgrounds.
