The etymological origin for the Chinese word “fo2 bun6” (伙伴), or “partner”, traces back to the ancient military system. While “fo2” ( 火 ) refers to a unit of ten militants, it also doubles to mean “fire”. Indeed, the military was organised by the fire – the leader of a unit, “fo2 zoeng2” ( 火長 , literally meaning “ chief of the fire”), was in charge of cooking all meals which the team would share together. Therefore, those within one “fo2” were called “fo2 bun6” ( 火伴 ), or “partners of fire". This word was later adapted to generally mean "partners" ( 同伴 ) and was developed to be written as "伙伴” (fo2 bun6). Now, it refers to people who collaborate as part of the same organisation or activity, sharing the same practices and experiences.
Starting from 15th August 2019, Tsung Tsin Christian Academy and 1a space have joined to launch a one-year programme "Arts-in-School Partnership Scheme" initiated by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. 1a space commissioned two artists, Kevin Ling and Debe Sham, to collaborate and explore how art knowledge can intervene secondary school students and the community through different workshops. “Hiddenfromview” – Arts-in-School Partnership Scheme Exhibition will anchor on the concept of outlining and recording space, and will allow glimpses into the interaction and transformation which the participating artists and students have undergone in the past year.

Exhibition period: 23thOctober - 18th November 2020

古代兵制十人為一火，火長一人管炊事，共灶飲食，故稱同火者為「火伴」，引申為「同伴」之意，後多寫作「伙伴」。現在泛指共同參加某種組織、活動的人，一起合作，一起實踐，一起經歷。

香港視覺藝術評論人培育計劃 2021
Hong Kong Visual Art Nurturing Programme 2021
計劃概覽
1a空間一直致力發掘及培育本地視覺藝術評論人，自2017年起持續舉辦《香港視覺藝術評論人培育計劃》。計劃以獨立藝術機構為本，並與多個專業視覺藝術工作者及資深藝評人合作，舉辦大講堂、展覽導賞及寫作評閱等，以培育本地藝評新血。
計劃踏入第四年，今年將會以「寫作實踐」為中心，期望為有志深造視覺藝術評論的文化愛好者提供進一步的藝術評賞訓練。除此之外，計劃亦旨在鼓勵學員之間，及與導師互相交流，提高課堂内外的學習氣氛。
另外，爲了鼓勵學員持續進行寫作，我們將繼續夥拍網上媒體平台立場新聞，期望為學員的優秀文章提供刊登的機會，營造本地視覺藝術評論生態。

計劃框架 —「Tic-Tac-ToE」
今年的計劃框架已重整為「Tic-Tac-ToE」，邀請本地資深藝評人及專業視覺藝術工作者主持大講堂 （cri/Tic）、藝評實戰 （Tac/tics ）、觀展討論 （To/ur）及小組交流（E/xchange），期望為參加者提供不同面向的藝評訓練。
1. cri/Tic - 大講堂
資深藝評人梁偉詩、黎健強和楊陽分別主講的三堂大講堂將貫穿計劃的「首、中、尾」，當中講者將從各自獨到的角度出發，分享不同媒介藝評寫作的經驗，以及探討本地藝術的重要議題。大講堂的標題及詳情將稍後公佈！
2. Tac/tics - 藝評實戰
專業視覺藝術工作者阿三與吉瞑水將擔任小組導師，在藝評實戰中分別帶領兩組的學員進行各種有關藝術評論和寫作的訓練，如就學員在課程期間遞交的藝評文章 (2-3篇) 進行深入診症與討論，以及帶領互評練習。
3. To/ur - 觀展討論
學員將會跟隨兩位小組導師阿三與吉瞑水於觀展討論中遊走於香港本地舉行的視覺藝術展覽，以展覽的作品、藝術家、主題及議題為本作討論交流，讓學員能夠實地學習及應用鑒賞與評論當代藝術的方法。
4. E/xchange - 小組交流
小組交流旨在為兩組學員提供一個相互學習及建立關係的機會。兩組同學將由導師阿三與吉瞑水帶領集合在一起，與一位藝術家嘉賓 (稍後公佈) 進行一場「見面會」。希望同學能於過程中積極參與，大膽拋出各種問題及想法，並從藝術家及同學身上得到啟發。
