[Workshop & Exihibition]

We were invited by Design Center to join to their ‘Everyday Plus ’Exhibition: Rediscover the Ordinary

We will guide participants through a map-making workshop ‘Rediscover the Ordinary, ’ where they will explore the lively realm of creatively repurposing everyday items in Sham Shui Po using an interactive self-exploration map. Equipped with tools and a Sham Shui Po map crafted by ISLANDERS, participants will delve into the community, capture its distinctive essence, and unearth the neighbourhoods hidden treasures.

At the end of the workshop, a photo of the participants will be printed and displayed on the map, creating a collective visual narrative to celebrate Sham Shui Po’s legacy as a hub of resourcefulness and innovation.

Date: 2025.6.21(Sat) & 2025.7.5 (Sat)
Time: 15:00 - 17:00
Venue: The Square, G/F DX design hub, 280 Tung Chau Street, Sham Shui Po
No. of Participants: 15 (12 years old or above)
Instructor: ISLANDERS
Language: Cantonese
Fee: Free admission

Our contribution ‘Building the Commons’ came back on our investigative work on Peng Chau.

And, we are excited to announce that we have a second contribution to ‘Delightful Designs’!
‘Finding the Commons’ is a self-guided mapping experience that will lead you to dig deeper into the Peng Chau culture.

Want to explore the island in an original and fun way, but in the same time get new tools to discover the hidden beauties of your own neighbourhood? This is your chance!
We will be introducing our experience kit on March 26th.

很高興我們受到設計中心的邀請參加他們的“「Everyday+常物」展覽”
我們將以「尋常物再發現工作坊」帶大家嘗試一種設計角度重新審視深水埗的日常物。

參加者將以我們預備好的一張互動式地圖，在深水埗社區中探索日常再利用的案例，尋找並記錄社區內的獨特創意。

透過全新的視角，參加者可重新認識這個熟悉的社區，尋找那些被賦予新生命的日常普通物件。在工作坊結尾時，我們會把參加者的照片打印出來，貼在地圖上，一同完成一幅集合深水埗尋常物再創造的視覺文化地圖。

新書發佈會

📍銅鑼灣店 9F FORUM

▍《潮汐之間》新書發佈會｜書寫我們的島——由島嶼出發的文學創作
📆 10.12（六）17:00-18:00
．
《潮汐之間》是一部富有詩意和哲思的散文，以坪洲和島上人物為背景進行文學創作，探討個人與島嶼、人類與非人類島民、島嶼與城市、夢境與真實等諸多人生命題。那些不張揚的小事，如天后廟前沉睡的黃狗、飄落整座島嶼的木棉花絮和隔壁小孩的哭泣，在她的筆下化為生命的呼吸。人與天、天與地、地與海、海與人之間的循環往復，應運而生。

書寫自己的社區可以有很多種方法：
建築、字體、 散步、攝影等等。島民由第一期街坊櫈地圖至最新一期「休息數天」告示牌地圖，我們不斷嘗試用最不起眼的物件去述說一個社區。
被問得最多的是： 為什麼要那麼久才出一期？製圖是什麼？靈感是從那裏冒出來？
又，我們為什麼要寫地方刊物？可以怎樣寫？寫完又可以怎樣？
創辦人Kit Chan和Myriem Alnet將會分享他們由2020年開始製作雜誌的心路歷程。
另外，是次分享會亦是第四期浮城自足發佈會，讓大家了解一下 「休息數天」背後的故事。

Writing about one's community can take many angles: architecture, typography, walking, photography, and more. From the first neighbourhood chair map to the latest "Rest for a Few Days" sign map, we continuously attempt to tell our community's story through the most unassuming objects.
People frequently ask us: Why does it take so long to release one issue? What is cartography? Where does the inspiration come from? And, why do we write local publications? How can we write them? What happens after we finish writing?
Founders Kit Chan and Myriem Alnet will share their journey of creating the Islanders map-zine since 2020.
Additionally, this sharing session will also serve as the launch event for the fourth issue of "Abundant Island" allowing everyone to learn about some stories behind "Rest for a Few Days."

ISLANDERS is an independent map-zine that seeks to explore sustainable living by investigating the islands.

Presented by: Islanders
Venue Sponsor: ACO

Islanders 04 Launch: Mapping from the island

On the occasion of the launch of ISLANDERS map-zine 4 'ABUNDANT ISLAND’, founders Kit Chan and Myriem Alnet take the time of a sharing to review the zine-making process and its contribution on the local scene.
More specifically, the discussion will invite participants to explore questions such as: researching local features, writing about the island, avoiding the tourist gaze and anchoring in a community... the time of 4 zines made between 2020 and 2024.

ISLANDERS島民 Zine is a map-zine that enquires into islands, their people and lifestyles to develop original perspectives on sustainable living. Based on in-depth research and mapping, each issue of ISLANDERS aims to reveal another facet of the ordinary condition of the island. As such, the zine is a first step in our process towards envisioning spaces and territories that are more caring for their residents.

《ISLANDERS島民》第四期浮城自足發佈會
我們將舉辦一個小型分享會，讓大家了解一下 「休息數天」背後的故事。

另外，創辦人Kit Chan和Myriem Alnet亦會分享他們由2020年開始製作雜誌的心路歷程。
我們為什麼要寫地方刊物？可以怎樣寫？寫完又可以怎樣？

"每天一早，我們買菜、我們聊天、我們閒逛，將認真在島上生活作為研究的一部分，並大量閱讀相關主題。再由與鄰居的閒談開始去驗證我們的忽發奇想，唯有這樣，才能為理論找到堅實的基礎，替我們將來的生活，甚至是城市的發展提出一些建議"
……這是四年前寫下的豪言壯語

《ISLANDERS島民》是一份獨立的地圖雜誌，透過向島嶼發問，我們希望探索可持續生活的原點。

...days are the estimated longest "few days" of rest taken by a shop. On average, when island shop owners say “a few days”, they really mean 3-4 days, but the rest period can easily stretch to a few months. The vagueness of the expression, providing neither start nor end to the rest, highlights the unpredictable need for rest and forces customers to reconsider the human labour needed to run the shops. In a humane economy, service-providers do not open at the expense of their well-being.
是見過最長的「休息數天」大概日數。一般休息日數為三四天至數個月不等。 模稜兩可的數字運用，強調了商舖運作背後充滿了不確定的人為因素，亦令顧 客反思開店背後所涉及的人力成本。如此龐大的數字反映出，在一個人性化的 經濟體系中，服務提供者的自身需求亦應被納入營運的考慮範圍，人們不應以 犧牲自身的福祉為代價來工作。
