The interstitial Hong Kong team will introduce the exhibition, followed by a short interactive workshop on Sitting-out Areas in Hong Kong.

#1
Only for sitting? What else can we do in our Sitting-out Areas?
Though currently designed for passive uses only, the irregular sites and unusual locations of SOAs might suggest a wide assortment of engaging programs and spaces for nearby communities.

#2
For me? Who is invited to our Sitting-out Areas?
SOAs, like many of Hong Kong’s public spaces, come with rules for use and constraints on access, leaving some groups of people either explicitly or implicitly unwelcome.

#3
Any stories? What small pleasures do our Sitting-out Areas conceal?
Though small, many SOAs discretely tell the story of Hong Kong and its communities, while others manage a space of escape just meters from the city around it.

#4
Why not here? Where do we need more Sitting-out Areas?
SOAs are not equally distributed throughout the city — they occur where they can rather than where they should. How can community needs inform the process of locating new SOAs?

#5
Beyond boundary? How do Sitting-out Areas contribute to the larger urban environment?
A pedestrian link, a green-shaded pocket, a pervious patch, a micro-habitat — though small, SOA’s are part of the fabric of the city and contribute to its performance.
