  • “E-Pathy City” Part 2

    Co-organised by Oi! and Urban Place Research Unit of School of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong “E-pathy City” is an experiment to explore the interrelation of Empathy, Art, Green issue and Elderly. Since July 2015, we will organise a series of workshops at Oi! and its vicinity to explore the over-arching concept of “Empathy City”, which is presumably a utopian state of the social imagination where mutual understanding and genuine communication between different social groups are enabled by the vicarious experience of the feelings of one another. Participants will be challenged to reflect and search for the ideal intra-city relations, favorable social conditions and available means to construct and incubate an empathy city. It aims at exercising our “empathy” muscle, stretching our extended imagination and affiliation, to build our capacity to empathize. The project is unfolded by three phases, 1. Introduction and Interaction; 2. Intervention and Interflow; 3. Integration and Innovation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the years, the changes of the society and other sociology-economical factors affect the definition and operation of art spaces as well as its relationship with the community. Conflicts between different generations and communities occurs constantly. With the rapid growth of art spaces recently, the target audience and its relationship with the community were also be redefined and reconstructed. Workshops are designed with creative characteristic of the community to initiate participants to understand their neighborhood with a different perspective. From arts and creative approach, we will discover the possibilities and imagination of intergenerational and intercommunal communication. Online Registration: https://goo.gl/forms/itgBY2te9wkqb6UK2 Event 1 : Be an city archeologist - Rubbing Workshop A milestone is one of a series of numbered markers placed along a road or boundary at intervals to indicate the distance in miles from a specific point. They are typically located at the side of the road or in a median. In another word, it represents a significant event or stage in the life, progress, development, or a turning point of a person. Participants of Workshop (1) will go for a tour at the old neighborhood of To Kwa Wan to find the milestone in the city. To record the millstone, participants will learn the technique of rubbing and use color materials to copy the pattern on the surface of the milestone. To duplicate the words or patterns found on the milestone is a common practice for archeologist to preserve and manage the identity of a place and understand the social life of our ancestors. To review the historical monuments of our city, it signifies our appreciation to the past and enrich our knowledge to our urban development. Participants then will bring the pattern to Oil Street and further develop it into an artwork. It also signifies the past constructing our future.
