Not a Community Guided Tour
Not a Community Guided Tour
Go to the theater
There is no script, no rehearsal, no actors, only participants. What will happen on stage in this “art performance”? Why is this art?
Giraffe, born in the 90s, started his experimental project, Not a Community Guided Tour, in 2021. Over the past 4 years, he has practiced this everyday life art experience in different places and venues. From an experimental project, to a graduation exhibition; from his art studio, to a century-old shop in Sha Tau Kok. He even brought this project to a hotel room in 2024and turned the hotel bed into a picnic table.
Each time, Giraffe gathered a group of people with different backgrounds: clinical psychologist, animation director, art college student, civil servant, TV show Production Assistant, doctors, bank OL… During the programme, everyone expressed themselves freely and to look at the community from an artistic perspective. They noticed arts appear everywhere in daily life and discovered different possibilities of art. Not a Community Tour is an ongoing observational experiment project in which the artist and the participants explore the unknown together.
Now, Not a Community Tour is going to the Shouson Theatre. "Tour Participants" will have free discussion with Giraffe Leung and other participants on stage. Or you can be a "Tour Observer" to observe all the happening from audience seat.
*The event is suitable for everyone.
**Please be aware all on-stage activities will be filmed and recorded.
#不是社區導賞團
“Although Hong Kong is small, it has a lot of people. Our social circles often revolve around people who are similar to us (in occupations/ interests), or voices that are similar to ours. So I have an idea, which is to try to connect different people in the form of a gathering and listen to other voices.” by Giraffe Leung.

Leung always responds to his home environment and identity as a Hongkonger in his work that highlights the artist’s critical thinking on various subjects, including the shared history and collective memories of Hong Kong people, social changes and urban development, etc. His art often features material that was once highly valued to many Hongkongers in everyday lives but became obsolete in rapid urban development.Ticketing enquiry: ask@popticket.hk (Office hour: Mon-Fri 10am-7pm)
