Brandstorm Communications hosted its inaugural exhibition, the Connecting Colors Arts Exhibition, which took place at the Visual Arts Centre in the vibrant heart of Singapore from February 9-11, 2024.
Marina Watt, co-founder of Brandstorm Communications and the creator of A Little Something by Marina Watt, developed educational resources such as A Picture Book About Coronavirus Prevention, Affirmation Cards, and Magic Dice during the pandemic. Through social media and online columns, she shared insights on parenting and conducted free webinars featuring international scholars and artists for Hong Kong's children. Three years have passed since the pandemic, and Marina hopes to encourage the spirit of lifelong learning—moving from online to offline and transitioning from a pandemic to a post-pandemic world. She is venturing out with a group of Hong Kong (China) artists and young talents. Leveraging this exhibition, she aims to facilitate artistic exchanges between Hong Kong (China) artists, both established and emerging, and their peers from France, Macau (China), and Singapore through collaborative showcases and cultural dialogue.
