The ‘Pop-up Playground’ programme explores the possibilities of public space and art.
The use of temporary spaces provides an experimental platform for urban revitalization. Through dialogues with local residents, the collection of old objects, school and community workshops, and the exhibition of participatory art, the programme combines everyday attitudes toward ‘PLAY’ with imagination, exploring the infinite possibilities between public art and public playground. It serves to capture and preserve the stories of the Tai Kok Tsui community while nurturing creativity within the community. The programme aspires to connect the community through a co-creation and co-learning approach, give the community a new lease of life and creatively reimagine the use of urban public spaces.
The 'Pop-up Playground' features various creations, including mobile cart transformed from repurposed old furniture recycled in Tai Kok Tsui; a skipping rope crafted from old clothes collected from the community; a cosy tent made from recycled snack bags; drawers filled with beautiful memories; and an interactive installation transformed from Aluminium material. The programme excavates forgotten items from the community to create joy that nourishes our lives. Let's come together to create a playground that belongs to everyone!
