Youth's sharing
Lab Fellow Jeanie
Initially I joined the Lab just because I wanted to rent a venue. Who would have thought that during my stint in the Lab, I would have lots of chances to be groomed and try something new, such as putting up products for sale in Breakthrough Book Gallery, participating in an overseas exhibition for the first time and being interviewed by foreign media, etc.? I find that I have overcome many “impossibilities” and am gradually going along a path that can be further developed. What is more, my brand is becoming more mature in various aspects. I hope that everyone won’t be afraid of failures. As long as you are willing to try, you will certainly find a way out.
Lab Fellow Fion
Ever since joining the Trial and Error Lab provided with my own workstation, I have undergone a series of transformation. By taking part in interviews, people around me have begun to empathize with my decision to switch my career, from being a social worker to being a part of the creative industry as an illustration artist. The experience in Lab has driven me to be more determined in developing my career as an illustration artist, and I have further applied for the Masters of Illustration Art Programme offered by a tertiary institution in England to enhance my skills and exposure in this area.
Trial and Error Lab does not only provide a physical workstation for me, but also an identity as a creative artist, and ample opportunities to try out various options. I have previously shut myself at home to focus at work, with an apparent lack of opportunities to reach out to others. Being a fellow of Lab, I am able to discuss and learn from other partners to gain more artistic inspirations and obtain invaluable advice.
Lab Fellow Stella
I always failed to understand why my works weren’t selling despite quite a bit of compliments given by others. This puzzle prompted me to join the Trial and Error Lab, where mentors have given me a lot of practical advice and encouraged me to keep trying and improving. In the past I thought it would work by just sticking to my personal style, but now I hope I can express myself through other elements as well. I am very grateful to the mentors in the Lab, other Lab fellows and co-workers for walking with me over these 150 days. I look forward to seeing myself and my brand continue to grow and make progress ahead.
Breakthrough Book Gallery
We believe that God created the world to be beautiful in different ways; everyone has different values and callings in life. Working by the philosophy of our founder Ms. Josephine So Yan Pui for Breakthrough Book Gallery, we hope to bring cultural resources to the youth for the purpose of giving a breathing space amidst the city and to open more possibilities in life.
Breakthrough Book Gallery hopes to be a space where one can find possibilities, be set free and find the true beauties of life.
We provide creative cultural necessities, including books, stationery and gifts; supporting fair trade, respecting local culture and encouraging creative designs, practicing the concept of “living well” in consumer purchases.
