OxHKScholars and OxHKPASS jointly present the MT 2021 Virtual Speaker Event.

This speaker event will feature Ms. Vivien Chan. Vivien is a design historian, writer, and imagemaker based in the UK. She is currently a doctoral candidate at University of Nottingham as part of the 'Cultures of Occupation in Twentieth-Century Asia' project led by Dr. Jeremy Taylor, working on her ongoing PhD thesis titled “A Colony of Shopkeepers”: Spaces of Consumption in New Towns public housing estates, Hong Kong, 1945-1989. She is also currently a lecturer in design research at Nottingham Trent University, and has guest lectured at Royal College of Art and Kingston School of Art.

Guiding us through a historical lens to explore the evolution of Hong Kong’s charm, Vivien will speak about the making the modern 'wet market' in Hong Kong New Towns public housing estates: Order, consumption, and the materiality of 'wetness'.
