《藝術 / 行動者駐場計劃》是一個為期3個月的駐場計劃,期望接連藝術家至油麻地草根社群,並以藝術行動介入探討為社區帶來轉變的可能性。兩位本地駐場藝術家,梁志剛及盧樂謙分別在這幾個月期間在油麻地進行了一連串實驗計劃,並於1月4日於活化廳進行成果簡報,分享駐場期間的經驗觀察。

梁志剛(Michael Leung) 的「社區耕種計劃」考察油麻地區內各種都市種植的可能性,不論是開發天台園圃及至街坊在路牌上打遊擊的種植方法,他以記錄、連線合作及親自實踐,勾勒在這高密度都市中開發一片自主生產種植的可能性。他亦在是次計劃製作了一份油麻地社區網絡的地圖,並於活化廳派發。盧樂謙(Him lo) 於九月份發動「油麻地街頭運動會」,期間藉不同工作坊與街坊/參加者商討運用區內公共空間作不同比賽項目的可能性,最後舉行了第一季油麻地街頭運動會;從考驗身手的天橋底梅花樁競賽、榕樹頭高爾夫球大賽、果欄挺舉賽、考驗講價技巧的街市買餸障礙賽等,玩轉公共空間的使用方式之餘,過程與社區人士開展有趣的對話,重提社區下而上自發策動活動的重要性。

是次簡報,藝術家將就駐場期間的考察經驗作分享簡報,歡迎各位有興趣人士加入討論。

Art/Activist-in-Residence programme strives to connect artists and grassroots community of Yaumatei through art activities so as to investigate possibilities of changes on the community. Michael Leung and Him Lo, two local artists who spent several months on different experiments in Yaumatei is going to share with you their experiences and observations on Jan 4 (Sat) at Wooferten.

Michael Leung – Community Farming Project investigated possibilities of different urban agriculture, e.g. rooftop, street sign planter, by documentation, collaboration with neighbors and practices, which outlined alternatives of farming in this high-density city. A map of Yaumatei community was made and printed, which is now available for free at Wooferten.

Community Farming Project  ︳ Michael Leung & Neighbors

「社區耕種計劃」是一個以行動來直接搜集在油麻地區內各種耕種過程與成果的社區記錄,這些耕種計劃在油麻地落地生根,從地面發展至天台,又從地面回到街頭,隨著社區一起成長。這個計劃將它們的故事和鄰里之間的關係與互動收集和紀錄起來和大眾分享。

Community Farming Project is a direct, tangible & community-based collection of urban agriculture projects rooted in Yau Ma Tei. Supported by Woofer ten, these urban agriculture projects are grown from the street level with the Yau Ma Tei community. From the bottom up and from the rooftop down. Relationships, stories, neighborhood interactions will be documented & archived for public reference. Community Farming Project is part of the Woofer ten AAiR2013 program*.
