Informal Heritage Research Group — Field Study
DESCRIPTION
Building on the observation methodologies explored in the artwork, artist Larry Shuen will lead participants on a walking tour through Sai Ying Pun to visit heritage sites, historical buildings and the Centre Street Market, and to try out his “informal heritage research methods” proposed in the work. Along the way, a series of exploration tasks will invite participants to look closely at architectural details, traces in the streets and patterns of everyday use, examining the open and closed spaces around heritage sites from their own perspectives, and making records that differ from official historical accounts.
Through this shared process of research, participants will gradually develop their own ways of looking at Sai Ying Pun and its heritage sites, connecting different places, spaces and histories to piece together a personal understanding of the neighbourhood.
