越營展覽update 7 (school tour)

上星期五,一個做老師的好朋友帶了她的六年級美術生來參觀展覽,當天的同學很有興趣,亦很高興在展覽場中可以四處走。

有一位同學,用非常書本式的語氣和句子,跟我說越南船民來到香港,是將責任推到別人身上,浪費香港納稅人的錢。這小朋友說話的肯定,叫我一時陷入了思想究竟他的價值觀是從那裡而來...「O咀」三秒後,我跟大家說會在結尾時回應這位同學。

展覽中,同學們最喜歡的,是放置在外的V-Camp,大家都爭著在竹片上寫字。

在結尾時,我讚賞他們對歷史和藝術的興趣(我真係沒有想過佢地會這麼投入),然後鼓勵他們繼續閱讀、思考和問、問、問,因為到現在仍然有很多歷史中的事件和戰爭是沒有對與錯的結論。在導賞團後,我有機會跟那位小朋友討論這問題,我沒有跟他理論,而叫我開心的,是他繼續問我為何我們要幫船民。

離開時,有一位同學多謝我們,讓他有幾會欣賞這些畫。我聽完之後真係好開心,不過這句多謝是屬於大家的!
