Harcourt Road: Exhibition showcases the objects, stories and learning about the two Harcourt Roads in Hong Kong and in Sheffield, collected by artist-organisers C & G Artpartment (Clara Cheung & Gum Cheng).

This research and community engagement project focuses on Harcourt Road, a street that exists in both cities. A leafy residential street in Sheffield with underexplored histories of migration and community organising, Harcourt Road is, in contrast, an arterial route prone to traffic in Hong Kong’s city centre. With government buildings and the Golden Bauhinia Square nearby, the road was crucially also the heart of Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement when, in 2014, it was occupied by democracy activists for over three months.

Having constructed a bespoke Mobile Museum as a literal 'vehicle' for excavating oral and material histories, C&G Artpartment (Clara Cheung & Gum Cheng) will share some of the key research and artistic milestones from the last two years to coincide with the ESEA (East and Southeast Asian) Heritage Month in the UK as well as the 10-year anniversary of the Umbrella Movement. Launching on Sat 28 September, we will celebrate with an appearance of the Mobile Museum on the Moor from 12 - 3pm and host a series of performances and conversations from 4 - 6pm at Bloc Projects' gallery:

4 - 4:20pm - introducing the project ⁠(with Co-Director Sunshine Wong and C & G Artpartment)

4:20 - 4:45pm - music performance featuring Juliana Day & Manon McCoy LaFay⁠

4:45 - 5:15pm - presentations by community organisers & residents Lai-Ming Hui & Laure Astill

Drinks are available from 4 - 6pm.
