An Ancient Greek proverb says, “Society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.” If immediate profits are all that we care about, the same mainstream-Vs-independent split will repeat itself. 若要擺脫活在西歐和亞洲區的陰影下,就得重注孕育年青新一代本地獨立音樂創作人,現在就得改善土壤,為了不太近的未來。

In the 3rd of his 10-part essay, Elliott Wan accounts for 5th-generation Hidden Agenda’s encounters to profile the shape of localism this live-house project has illustrated. 從 Hidden Agenda 衍化為 This Town Needs,2008-2020 並不是香港獨立音樂的完結篇。新冠肺炎從天而降,或是另一種生機的萌發。

How has HK’s independent music arena grown and sustained itself? What specific shape has localism taken since 2009? In the second of his 10-episode essay, Elliott Wan accounts for Hidden Agenda’s five-time threat of closure, which ironically was the result of an attempt to “(re-)vitalize” under utilized industrial space. 正是「活化」的果效,充滿活力的 Hidden Agenda 經歷了5次的關門。

A follow-up on “[put away] the kid on the street” (2 August 2020), Linda Lai continues to examine how, in an apparently peaceful post-war moment of Hong Kong in May 1950, three local film distributor-exhibitors fought for audiences of movies named to be celebrating the Children’s Day, with very different ethos. 倫敦謀殺案的唯一孩童證人。這不是一般的電影分享或分析,透過跨文本的觀察,試圖理解電影在社會生活世界中與別的範疇可有的種種協作果效。港產《細路祥》(1950)、蘇聯兒童片《以身許國》(1948)、英國電影童星主演的《妒花風雨》(1948),成為太平盛世的香港慶祝兒童節的電影宣傳搶客戰。

隨著一個月的《相遇於小誌小文學》,橫洲的居民和居所渡過了最終的清拆,土地正式地劃歸地產商的發展。展覽上有餘音,梁志剛將在「據點。句點」延續駐場直至4月14日。As “Publishing (To Find Each Other)” carried on in the month of March, Wang Chau village in Yuen Long was through its final phase of total demolition to make way for real estate developers. Many unfinished texts (writings and videos) to cover… Michael Leung’s residency at Floating Projects will take two more weeks to round up until 14 April 2021.

Aarey Forest is a rich urban forest which is within the eco sensitive zone of Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). It is classified as mixed moist deciduous type forest. Leung’s video was shot in May 2018, at the time local people were experiencing deforestation by a new metro line and metro carriage depot.

The thickness of the present grows as a writer goes back to the past — to question the protagonists of a situation from the point of view of what they could have done and what they may become capable of. Michael Leung takes off describing how he no longer calls himself a beekeeper as multi-species solidarity becomes growingly important to him.
