Upcoming exhibition at PMQ, Hong Kong
Re-edit
Re-edit is a showcase initiated by Hong Kong’s creative hub, PMQ.
Julie & Jesse will be showing Terra Mobiles. Do come and visit and interact with our mobile sculptures.
This exhibition opens with a poetic fantasy, the Bao Shan, which presents an imaginative landscape inspired by traditional Chinese culture: a ritual of the local fishing communities praying for safety from pirates. It is juxtaposed with ten distinctive designs by some of the most promising design talents of Hong Kong’s next generations. The key themes of the exhibition centre on layers of identity: from identity on a personal level, such as what we think, where we fit in, what we are attached to, and what piques our curiosity and creativity, to brand identity and city status, such as what our social norms are, what the relationship between fast culture and urban life is like, and what propels our designs into the future.
Nowadays, culture, design and business are fields that increasingly overlap as more and more leading businesses take on the humanistic task of re-editing and re-launching values, skills, standards of education and knowledge exchange, and all in all, standards of humanity. The works in this showcase reflect how subjects of identity are shaped by language, place, community, media, technology, social and political consciousness, heritage, sustainability, craftsmanship, customs, beliefs and more.

Heritage is Innovation Design Dialogue
Heritage is innovation
Design dialogue
Design Trust Futures Studio makes visible the processes and positive role of design in the culture of contemporary design and production. In 2019, under the theme of ‘HERITAGE IS INNOVATION’ new conversations and site-specific objects are created at the historic 1936 Haw Par Mansion in Tai Hang curated by Marisa Yiu (Co-founder/ Executive Director, Design Trust).
The “Heritage Design Dialogue” and sharing takes place- weather permitting on the rooftop of Haw Par mansion- Friday 20th September 2019. Topic focuses on ‘DESIGN INNOVATION & CULTURAL HERITAGE’, highlighting the role of heritage, history, and archives in design, and the significance of innovation in materiality, craft-making, and design thinking in contemporary culture. Through a cultural lab design approach, how do we design from our collective memory infusing local values and global reach? What is the importance of innovation in cultural heritage, and how do we create new models of learning and prototyping processes?
