Hong Kong Shifts invites you to its next exhibition and community event

When: 12 to 14 January 2023
Where: House Studio, 1/F, Soho House, 33 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan
 
Hong Kong Shifts is a social impact storytelling platform launched three years ago with a mission to give a voice to shift workers, these people who make the city tick, discreetly in the background. A cooked food center operator, a newspaper printing operator, a foreign domestic worker, a clementine grower, a taxi driver and a public toilet cleaner are just a few among the many people who’ve already share their stories of strength, positivity and resilience with the platform.
 
This month, the platform is hosting an exhibition and inviting you to discover empowering visual stories and joining inspiring talks and fun interactive storytelling activities while enjoying a drink.

These artworks reflect village stories, cultural inheritance and the natural environment of the islands they’ve been installed in.  
 
Both islands can be explored freely or you can join free guided tours. There’s also a series of events inviting you to explore the islands and their history and stories through art workshops, mindfulness experiences and more.
