Umbrella Movement - Exhibition
This exhibition presented the outcomes of the Umbrella Movement research and a participatory mapping workshop hosted by Connecting Space Hong Kong in May 2015. Building on research conducted during the Umbrella Movement, the project examined the relationship between protest and space by documenting physical traces, functions, and messages across Admiralty, Causeway Bay, and Mong Kok. Beyond spatial documentation, the exhibition invited the public to contribute personal stories and memories, layering individual voices onto mapped protest sites. Through collective participation, the exhibition framed mapping as both a tool for documentation and a reflective process on memory, civic engagement, and democratic aspirations.
Venue: Connecting Spaces ZHdK, Hong Kong
