Living in the densely populated city of Hong Kong, particularly so in communities like Sham Shui Po, the dimensions of our dwellings are often limited by our surroundings, but not necessarily the depths of our lives. Work hard to live well, rather than struggle for mere existence. This year’s JCCAC Festival invites visitors to “Live Living" and contemplate our relationships with our dwellings, surroundings and by extension to our general well-being. Through artistic interpretations of “house”, “space” and “the art of living”, participating artists attempt to tackle topical societal issues such as land use and housing, as well as the challenges people face everyday, in a bid to demonstrate their version of an ideal community for constructing the urban landscape. 住在香港,稠密如深水埗,我們或許改變不了居住的幅度,但卻是有能力決定生活的深度。用心生活,而不是拚命生存。今年JCCAC藝術節以「深活」為主題,透過對房子、空間和生活藝術的想像,重新思考人與居所和環境的連繫。深入生活,以藝術和建築的角度嘗試回應自身與周邊的土地、居住的環境,以及日常生活所面對的問題,呈現眾人心中理想的社區,共同建構城巿的未來面貌。
