Its characters eviove and glow DEVITALIZATION OF THE OLD CULTURAL INJECTION OF THE NEW ^ Roots and branches of the old trees act as the design concept. The old tree represents the characteristics of old city image in Kwun Tong, as tradition, context and memory. The extension and reborn of its roots and branches indicates the future possibilities of urban regeneration. In order to allow the reborn of roots and branches, extending to water becomes critical. m I r» - , ‘ • ]/ conceptual renderings Revitalization process and the injection of new culture (i.e. hip-hop culture) will be carried on simultaneously. A ne scenario will be created with the combination of its own characteristic and a new culture in a sustainable way. Revitaliza tion process focuses on old buildings along Hoi Yuen Road. The injection of new culture includes architecture related hip-hop which mainly locates along the waterfront area, as a connector between the future Kai Tak Redevelopment an Kwun long MTR Station. The design will help increase the human flow from MTR Station to the waterfront area by providing appropriate linkag along Hoi Yuen Road. Hip-hop facilities as the architectural prototypes will be built as the citizens' visual experience alon the path in the way of revitalization process. Leading to the waterfront area, permanent hip-hop facilities either in rei velopment process or from scratch will be provided as the attraction to citizens and also the hub for connecting Kai redevelopment area in the future. Tree roots and branches penetrates into the main street in the industrial and commercial area in order to revitalize area. A floating bridge is created to allow vertical circulation movement and cross-building interaction. Branches insert into and out of the buildings to create a sense of community from the ground to the building itself.

    Makers To The Rescue, How The Tech Community United Against COVID-19 In Spain 19/05/20, 4:07 PM CORONAVIRUS DISPATCHES | 5,057 views | Apr 14, 2020, 05:16pm EDT Makers To The Rescue, How The Tech Community United Against COVID-19 In Spain Oisin Lunny Senior Contributor Media I write about great music, mobile-centric tech and related trends. A facemask is seen on a statue of Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca GETTY IMAGES Can you remember the first time the sheer scale of the COVID-19 pandemic hit you; when the penny really dropped? In Spain, the cancellation of the seemingly indestructible Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade show in Barcelona marked a turning point in the national perception of the crisis. The GSMA's prescient cancellation of the event in February was an early harbinger of what was to come. Although some commentators were dismissive of the GSMA's decision at the time, the exponential spread of the novel coronavirus through Spain's major population centers soon extinguished any doubts with brutal precision. The death toll was rising exponentially, and a nationwide lockdown was declared on March 14. The Ifema convention center in Madrid was turned into Spain's largest field hospital, while the nearby ice rink at the Palacio de Hielo mall was used as a makeshift morgue. By the third week of March, the Ifema was being compared to a war zone, and on March 25 the death rate in Spain surpassed that of China. https://www.forbes.com/sites/oisinlunny/2020/04/14/makers-to-the-rescue-how-the-tech-community-united-against-covid-19-in-spain/#267f2e032194

  • Chapter 6 Hong Kong
    CHAPTER 6 HONG KONG Key Findings • The Hong Kong government’s proposal of a bill that would allow for extraditions to mainland China sparked the territory’s worst political crisis since its 1997 handover to the Mainland from the United Kingdom. China’s encroachment on Hong Kong’s auton- omy and its suppression of prodemocracy voices in recent years have fueled opposition, with many protesters now seeing the current demonstrations as Hong Kong’s last stand to preserve its freedoms. Protesters voiced five demands: (1) formal with- drawal of the bill; (2) establishing an independent inquiry into police brutality; (3) removing the designation of the protests as “riots;” (4) releasing all those arrested during the movement; and (5) instituting universal suffrage. • After unprecedented protests against the extradition bill, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam suspended the measure in June 2019, dealing a blow to Beijing which had backed the legislation and crippling her political agenda. Her promise in September to formally withdraw the bill came after months of protests and escalation by the Hong Kong police seeking to quell demonstrations. The Hong Kong police used increasingly aggressive tactics against protesters, resulting in calls for an independent inquiry into police abuses. • Despite millions of demonstrators—spanning ages, religions, and professions—taking to the streets in largely peaceful pro- test, the Lam Administration continues to align itself with Bei- jing and only conceded to one of the five protester demands. In an attempt to conflate the bolder actions of a few with the largely peaceful protests, Chinese officials have compared the movement to “terrorism” and a “color revolution,” and have im- plicitly threatened to deploy its security forces from outside Hong Kong to suppress the demonstrations.

  • Of Kowloon's Uncrowned Kings and True Recluses
    ART RESEARCH SPECIAL ISSUE vol.1 Of Kowloon’s Uncrowned Kings and True Recluses: Commemoration, Trace, and Erasure, and the Shaping of a Hong-Kong-topia Of Kowloon Of from Chen Botao (1855–1930) to Tsang Tsou-choi (1921–2007) Shao-Lan Hertel (Tsinghua University Art Museum) E-mail: [email protected] ’ s Uncrowned Kings and Recluses: True Commemoration, and Trace, Erasure, and the Shaping of a abstract Whether as political exile for yimin-loyalists of the Qing dynasty, migrant destination for Chinese Mainlanders seeking work, or global hub for cultural exchangesthe topia of Hong Kong can be defined as both periphery and center; moreover: “The significance of Hong Kong art from the perspective of twentieth-century China is its identity as the exception” (Tsong-zung Johnson Chang). While the specificity of Hong Kong art lies in its intrinsically heterotopic condition, defying any fixed definition or essentialist narrative, an overarching recurrence within art discourse is a distinct sense of place and time; a consciousness that has shaped Hong Kong identity in the collective imagination over time. Against this backdrop, this essay explores the art-historical, -geographical, and -political landscape of Hong Kong through the lens of local artists active from the early twentieth century on, focusing on Tsang Tsou-choi (1921–2007), the “King of Kowloon,” known for his once ubiquitous street graffiti calligraphy marking the public spaces of Hong Kong; and further, literati-poet Chen Botao (1855–1930), the self-proclaimed “True Recluse of Kowloon,” who founded a loyalist tradition of “Exile Poetics” based on Song-dynasty poetry.

  • Communities in Movement #1
    COMMUNITIES IN MOVEMENT #1 Developed as part of Social Acoustics: Communities in Movement an artistic research project based at The Art Academy, University of Ber- gen. The project addresses questions of art and autonomous politics, posing a transversal approach to critical thinking and collaborative doing. This includes a consideration of social and commoning prac- tices, experimental pedagogies, poetic and philosophical thought. Communities in Movement: On Experimental Practices Editor: Brandon LaBelle / With contributions by: Michael Leung, Alia Zapparova, Luis Guerra, Kathrin Wildner Publisher: The Art Academy, kmd, University of Bergen, 2020 Distribution: Errant Bodies Press, Berlin Contents: Brandon LaBelle, Slow Thoughts / 5 Michael Leung, Wormholes Between Territorial Struggles: Solidarity Through Precarity / 16 Alia Zapparova, Performing Elsewhere / 43 Luis Guerra, The Raft, the Map and the Spider / 56 Kathrin Wildner, Urban Citizenship – Spaces for Enacting Rights / 69 3 4 Slow Thoughts Brandon LaBelle Communities in Movement is aimed at capturing creative approach- es to social and political issues, and the experimental practices that work at forms of togetherness and solidarity. It is connected to the artistic research project, under the same title, and the related Living School, an ongoing discussion forum operating as part of the proj- ect (and organized in collaboration with the Multimedia Institute, Zagreb). Bringing together artists and thinkers, educators and activ- ists, working in a range of contexts and communities, the School tries to facilitate slow learning processes – to foster a time and space for thinking and doing together. In this regard, it follows from Isabelle Stengers’ moving call for “slow science”. Her proposal is critically positioned so as to figure a framework for more affective experienc- es and considered articulations – to allow the matters at hand to truly matter.

The first protests in April were triggered by a proposed new bill to allow individuals to be extradited from the region to China. They have since morphed into a wider campaign to preserve Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms. The withdrawal of the extradition bill has not ended the protests and clashes between police and activists have become increasingly violent.

It was through the course and your lectures I first understood how ambiguous and constructed many of the terms we take for granted really are and how these are politicized in conflicts. Den som tror den er ferdig utlært, er ikke utlært, men ferdig. Throughout my studies and process of writing this thesis, I have learned that I still have a lot to learn. I highly appreciate every single one who have ever taught me this, being my previous teachers or classmates. There are many individuals who have contributed to this thesis, and to whom I would like to express my sincerest appreciation. First and foremost, my participants and to those who helped me gather information or reach participants. Thank you to my peer readers and those who have discussed the topic with me: Even, Jens, Heidi, Ingvild, Judith, Marisa, Vemund. I would express my deepest appreciation to my family and friends, who have constantly encouraged and supported me. Without the people I am lucky enough to have in my life, this thesis would not have been the same. Thank you to every single one of you! I am also grateful to all strong women and men who have paved the way for a better future.
