After the “Umbrella Movement,” more grassroots, community-driven street and neighborhood activities emerged. The goal was to connect communities and sustain daily life while incorporating ideas of civic autonomy and organization, with the hope of maintaining a state of civic awakening, similar to wild grass with its resilience and adaptability. The “Umbrella Festival,” organized by the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies program at the Department of Cultural and Religious Studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, was one of the more large-scale and systematic academic, artistic, and cross-media events following the Umbrella Movement. It aimed to respond to the 2014 movement, with participating artists hoping to encourage the public to express their views and responses to the Umbrella Movement through visual art, dance, performance art, video, independent films, theatre, and a series of workshops and seminars. The festival took place from May 17 to 31, 2015, at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre(JCCAC).

「雨傘運動」發生之後，其實啟動咗更多由民間自發嘅街頭、社區活動發生，目的都係想連結社區，維繫生活日常之餘，同時滲入公民自主、組織嘅想像，期望維持公民覺醒嘅狀態，好似野草咁有頑強嘅生命力 同適應能力。 《雨傘節》由香港中文大學文化與宗教研究系文化研究學部碩士課程主辦，係「雨傘運動」之後一個較有規模、有系統嘅學術、藝術、跨媒介活動。主要係想回應2014年嘅雨傘運動，參與《雨傘節》嘅藝術家，期望透過視覺藝術、舞蹈、行為 藝術、錄像、獨立電影、戲劇，以及一系列嘅工作坊同埋研討會， 鼓勵公眾對「雨傘運動」發表自己嘅睇法同埋回應。 呢個藝術節喺2015年5月17號至31號喺賽馬會創意藝術中心舉行。
