Exhibition · HART HAUS · Hong Kong
“Memoria of the Sea — A Living Archive Project” is a touring exhibition that transforms the concept of a boat into a vessel of collective memory. Choosing HART Haus as her second station, she was inspired by the relationship between Aberdeen’s fishermen and the relocation of the Kennedy Town Fish Market; this poetic installation invites audiences to view our coastline not just as a scenic backdrop, but as a site deeply shaped by labor, migration, and history. A Sustainable, Collaborative Masterpiece Brought to life through a unique collaboration between artist Gisèle Tchitchiama and The Foundry of The Harbour School (THS) , the structure is intricately crafted from bamboo, recycled materials, and reclaimed fishing nets. Guided by THS specialist Dean Lea, alongside students and architectural assistants, the team successfully translated a profound conceptual conversation into a tangible, eco-conscious reality. Lifeworthy Learning and Evolving Dialogue “Memoria is the future of the past,” says Tchitchiama, emphasising the importance of materializing collective dreams for future generations. The project beautifully embodies THS’s commitment to "lifeworthy learning," offering a thought-provoking platform that honors our oceans while challenging the community to think critically about environmental sustainability. Join the Living Archive Functioning as a "poetic boat," the installation invites active public participation to help build an invaluable archive of Hong Kong’s maritime soul. Visitors are welcome to write their personal reflections of the sea on prepared wood and seaweed paper, placing them within crab baskets to foster an evolving, inter-generational dialogue between past and present. 「海洋記憶—活檔案計畫」是一場巡迴展覽，將「船」的概念轉化為集體記憶的載體。選擇 HART HAUS 作為第二站，靈感源自香港仔漁民與堅尼地城魚市場搬遷之間的關聯；這件充滿詩意的裝置作品邀請觀眾反思，不僅將我們的海岸線視為風景如畫的背景，更視為一個深受勞動、遷徙與歷史深刻形塑的場域。 一項永續且協作的裝置 這座結構由藝術家 Gisèle Tchitchiama 與 港灣學校 (The Foundary of The Harbour School) 透過獨特的合作關係共同打造而成，採用竹子、回收材料及再生漁網精心製作。在 THS Foundary 專家…
