DESIGN TRUST: Critically Homemade

Latest #DesignTrustFridays exhibition “From Smal

Latest #DesignTrustFridays exhibition “From Smallness, Playfulness to Community Impact: Design Trust Futures Studio Micro-parks Exhibition” will open to the public by appointment from Friday December 1st 2023 on designated Fridays until March 2024. Expanding upon the recently launched micro-park publication, the exhibition features extensive documentation of Design Trust Futures Studio 2017 “Small is Meaningful” and Design Trust Futures Studio 2018 “Play is for the People” programmes and the subsequent construction process of the four built micro-parks and ongoing activation in 2023. Through models, drawings, material prototypes and photographs, the exhibition presents the complexity and challenges of more than five years of creative collaboration with public and private agencies as well as community partners. As an anchor of the exhibition, the “Collective Creative Manifesto'' highlights ten recommendations for future public and private community partnerships in the region inspired by the creative process, prototype and policy transformation.

To celebrate the launch of our DTFS Micro-parks book, we will have a special weekend opening on Saturday December 2nd 2023 in addition to our Design Trust Fridays opening hours. You can also order and get your copy of our latest publication at the exhibition. Book your visit now through the link in the bio and visit the exhibition.

信言週五最新展覽《從「小」玩到「大」：「未．共研社」微型公園展覽》將於2023年12月1日起於指定週五對公眾開放至2024年3月（需預約參觀）。基於早先發佈的微型公園出版物，該展覽展示2017年「未．共研社」之《「細小」的威力（Small is Meaningful）》、2018年「未．共研社」之《眾．樂樂園（Play is for the People）》以及隨後四座微型公園的建造過程、建成公園的翔實記錄，包括於2023年進行的一系列激活行動。通過模型、圖紙、材料原型及攝影紀錄，展覽重現了同公私營機構及社區夥伴超過五年的創意合作歷程背後的複雜性與挑戰。作為展覽的中心，聯合創意宣言受到創意合作過程、原型設計及政策轉變啟發，對未來公、私營社區夥伴關係提出的倡議。

信言週五現已開放預約，為慶祝出版物發佈，我們亦會增開本週六12月2日特別開放日供公眾預約參觀。您亦可於預定並在展覽現場購買本書。敬請透過主頁鏈接預約參觀。
