In Christina’s spare time, she visits old Hong Kong family-run shops and stores, talking to the owners to understand their history, often spanning two or more generations, and listening to their stories whilst taking pictures and observing their craftsmanship.
Christina’s aim is to create greater awareness of these treasures on our doorstep, to inspire Hong Kong locals and visitors alike to go seek them out and help preserve the trades,. She continues to explore ways where we can revitalise and sustain this integral part of our society and encourage greater collaboration between the old and the new.
Come and hear her journey about this special part of HK history.
