越後妻有大地藝術祭 2012 小蛇隊義工招募 Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2012 Kohebi-tai Volunteer Recruitment

小蛇隊義工
Be our volunteer, Join the Kohebi-tai!

香港的義工團隊於2006年開始參與第三屆越後妻有大地藝術祭。十五位來自香港大學的大學生及從日本城市來的年輕人，組成「小蛇隊」與農村裡的老人家走在一起，創造出近300件充滿當地風土人情的藝術作品，來迎接這三年一度的盛事。義工在大會的指導下，從事清理、木工及美勞等工作，這些活動促成各類的溝通，令當地的居民，旅客和義工在美不勝收的米田上打成一片。工作過後泡浸溫泉和晚上的經驗分享則為每一天畫上一個完美又充實的句號。

我們期待2012年可以有更多香港的義工一起參與，有興趣參與的人士請盡快與我們聯絡 !

The Hong Kong volunteers began to participate in the 3rd Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2006. Fifteen volunteers from the University of Hong Kong and students from urban Japan form a team known as “Kohebi-tai” (little shrimp gang) participated in the making of over 300 artworks. Volunteers were assigned a variety of tasks from simple clean-up, carpentry to fulfilling all sorts of creative ideas from artists and local residents. A day's work was usually summarized with a trip to hot spring and a night of sharing different experiences.

As our volunteer base continues to increase and strengthen over the years, we have begun recruiting volunteers for the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2012. Please contact us as soon as possible for more information.
