My Belongings, My Sound Stories in 118.4 sq.ft.

Explore an exhibition entitled "My Belongings, My Sound Stories in 118.4 sq.ft. (所有：聽見118.4呎的聲音故事)," curated by Professor Ruby Lai and supported by the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at Lingnan University.

This exhibition originates from Dr. Lai's field research, where she visited dozens of families living in subdivided units across the New Territories and Kowloon in the past four years. The research documents how individuals construct homes within inadequate spaces, relying on their possessions and unpaid labor. For those living in subdivided units, creating a home within a hundred-square-foot space is extremely challenging. The labor, memories, and self-awareness hidden beneath the grand narrative are meticulously etched into everyday objects. By tracing the lives of subdivided unit residents through these objects, one can profoundly understand the intricate connections between individuals, spaces, family ties, labor, and policies. This interdisciplinary collaboration selects some of these stories and presents them through art installations and audio journeys, allowing the public to listen to how residents transform subdivided units into homes through their "objects".
