Southern Threads: A Bus Tour of Everyday Life

"Our Southerly Days" brings together artists who live, work or grew up in the Southern District. Through different media, they illuminate stories of daily life over the decades.

As an extension of the project, this special bus tour — led by the curator and three senior docents — explores hidden tales of the southern shores, spanning communities, architecture, heritage and cuisine. Along the way, the curator will share how three artists have re‑imagined the district’s identity through three lenses: Fishery (fishing culture), Delight (childhood memories) and Corner (hidden streetscapes).

Route:

·    Wah Fu Estate, Pok Fu Lam (First session exclusive): reliving childhood games and the community’s UFO tales
·    Stanley: seaside market ambience, European‑style streetscape and art installation
·    Aberdeen: views of the typhoon shelter, and stories of sampan foods like fish ball noodles and boat noodles
·    Wong Chuk Hang: memories of technical schools and floating homes

* The bus will make short stops at selected spots with artworks, giving participants the chance to step out and experience the works up close.
