Bringing together more than 30 Hong Kong creatives under the concept of ‘misfit’, SOCIAL NERD: SUPPORT GROUP 2023 declares a ‘MISFITS MANIFESTO’ of artistic expression — providing a platform for artists to celebrate the individuality and charm of their very own brand of creativity.
Hosted at CEMENT, K11 MUSEA’s modular creative- and community-driven space offering an inclusive platform for diverse voices, SOCIAL NERD, a new entity founded by the team behind pins and souvenir production house PERKS, now inhabits a space to fully bring to life artists’ works that they’ve long been fans of.
Explore sculptures, fabric designs, photography, paintings, and more — ‘MISFITS MANIFESTO’ is a collection of declarations from those who defy social norms and those who don’t “fit in”. What’s your manifesto?
