Part of the ‘Elsewhere in Me’ live art series

Date: Sat 20 Jun 2026

  • Session 1: 2–4pm (Cantonese)
  • Session 2: 5–7pm (English)

Venues:

  • HART HAUS (4/F, Cheung Hing Industrial Building, 12P Smithfield, Kennedy Town)
  • Li Po Lung Path 

Registration required here.

 

The workshop begins and ends indoors, with an outdoor excursion in between. Participants will engage in dialogue, voicing exercises, walking observation, and recording.

This workshop serves as a collaborative field study and prelude for Yim Sui Fong’s upcoming commissioned performative work in December, exploring sound and personal narratives. Returning to the birthplace of Para Site on Li Po Lung Path in Kennedy Town, we echo the spirit of the young artists who once carved out an exhibition space. Through sound, we consider how individuals yearn to be perceived, remembered, and transmitted—framing the act of voicing as an ephemeral declaration of the self.

By sharing our biographies, we identify keywords emerging from the gaps between words, translating memories into physical and vocal explorations. Tuning into the soundscape of Li Po Lung Path and using its terraced architecture as our guide, we unpack notions of articulation and ritual as they relate to the self, adapting the standard biography into a portrait made of living voices and frequencies.

Join us if you’re interested in sound!

About the artist

Yim Sui Fong (b. 1983 Guangdong, based in Hong Kong) is an artist and educator whose practice investigates sound, performance, and archival practices as sites for social negotiation. Constructing situational encounters within urban spaces, she explores how shared listening can disrupt, reshape, and rehearse social relations, re-interrogating the notion of the common.

Yim is the co-founder and Artistic Director of Rooftop Institute, an artist-led platform that positions learning as a form of social engagement. She is a project investigator for Ecologies of Participation (EoP), a transdisciplinary research initiative crossing art, architecture, and technology, and teaches at the Department of Fine Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at The Listening Biennial (2025); ODDKIN, Goethe-Institut Hong Kong (2025); In/Visible Spectrums: Contemporary Video Art from the Sinosphere at SOAS Gallery, London (2026); Emo Gym at Tai Kwun, Hong Kong (2022); Landskrona Foto Festival (2020); and Artists’ Film International at Whitechapel Gallery, London (2019), alongside further presentations across Asia and Europe. Yim is a recipient of the Hong Kong Arts Development Award for Young Artist (Visual Arts) and the WMA Masters Award 2017/2018.
