MADE IN HONG KONG SCAVENGER HUNT
SHEUNG WAN, HONG KONG, 2015
Maritime Museum
Creative concept: A spin-off activity for the 6-month long multimedia exhibition ‘Made in Hong Kong; my city, my stories’. Using the iDiscover app, family teams navigated the streets of Sheung Wan Hong Kong collecting stamps at six checkpoints on the way and learning all about traditional trades and crafts in this old neighbourhood. Highlights were Kwong Wah, a traditional letterpress printing workshop in Sai Street, where kids saw a century old printing press in action, tasting medicinal herbal tea at Yuen Kut Lam in Jervois Street and discovering Old Master Q, HK’s own version of Donald Duck at Ng Hing Kee comic book shop in Lok Ku Road.
Objective: To bring the museum into the city; sharing the stories of the craftsmen featured in the exhibition on-site into their workshops and ateliers.
Activities: Digital content creation, design of an illustrated map and event management.
Delivered: An educational and fun-filled interactive afternoon activity for 200 families
Client:
The winning photo showed dried goods in the Wah Tai Swallow’s Nest Shop on Wing Lok Street. We liked the creative and imaginative way of capturing the ‘Made in Hong Kong spirit’.”
