Lamma Mia | Virtual Tour | Lamma Island

Lamma Mia was a public art project which took place on Sok Kwu Wan on Lamma Island from 11 December 2021 — 13 March 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many activities were restricted and visitors limited. MetaObjects was invited to create a 360 virtual tour of the exhibition as a public interface and legacy for the project. The virtual tour features a navigation interface for the island's public art exhibition with interactive maps, playable media and artwork information.






About Lamma Mia
Lamma Mia aims to enhance the cross-cultural links among its residents and introduce an underappreciated aspect of the island to the general public. Presented by the Art Promotion Office on the theme of "island shore", the project took a retrospective look at the island's history and lifestyle and how they have been shaped by the interplay between land and sea.
Initiated by Dr. Anthony Leung, the project commissioned 15 artists/teams including, Brandon Chan, Peggy Chan, Ho Yuen-leung and Humchuk who were artists-in-residence on the island and held creative sessions with residents from the different communities. Artists Martin Cheung, Lam Duen Shan Ming, Kinchoi Lam and Jess Lau, Pauline Lam, Shum Kwan-yi, Sharu B. Sikdar, Siu Wai-hang, So Wing-po and Zhang Zhe exhibited works inspired by the elements of nature and cultural characteristics at various locations on the island; and film directors Cheuk Cheung and Ma Chi-hang each produced a documentary.
Working with Art Together as the Art In-situ Curatorial Partner and the Hong Kong Community Heritage Foundation as the Public Tour Collaborator, a series of guided tours, community workshops and documentary screenings were organised during the exhibition period.
