Yau Ma Tei Self-Rescue Project & Demonstrative Exhibition is self-help initiative to offer suggestion to neighborhood community of Yau Ma Tei and beyond to resist against the pro-development urbanization that had long been prevailing in Hong Kong. In addition to the exhibits, a survey was conducted to understand the residents’ self-help tactics.
‘Chat’ group (傾計會) is similar to regular ‘artist talk’, inviting artists to share with the public about their thoughts on the community. The objective was to exchange conversations and stimulate thoughts instead of solving pragmatic issues.
