Inter-island Festival is an art and lifestyle festival dedicated to the inter-island ferry and the outer islands.
In its second edition in 2022-23, the Festival concerns the outer islands of Peng Chau, Cheung Chau and Lantau Island’s Mui Wo and Chi Ma Wan, as well as the inter-island sea. The Festival will present new projects spanning from urban/rural cultures, environmental conservation, to design and crafts. The projects will be generated from cross-disciplinary collaborations and participatory processes right in the localities.
The Festival aims to highlight the distinct environments, communities, histories and concerns of these places, to promote and protect their shared cultures and raise awareness of the invaluable nature Hong Kong possesses. It also hopes to foster connections and exchange between these outposts with a down-to-earth, accessible and playful approach.

ISLANDERS enquires into islands, their people and lifestyles to develop original perspectives on sustainable living. The research lab started with the creation of eponymous map-zine and developed to offer a wider range of research workshops and cultural activities that aim at deepening participants’ understanding of the island. Based in Peng Chau, ISLANDERS also operate a space where neighbours can build a common future respecting the soil, its people & cultures. ISLANDERS was founded by Kit Chan and Myriem Alnet in 2019.
