A series of “collective research workshops” are proposed to investigate the marine identity of Peng Chau island and the links that tighten residents with the surrounding marine environment.
The format of “collective research workshops” aims at generating knowledge about Peng Chau from the perspective of the people who inhabit the territory. Participants are island residents who come with their varied backgrounds and want to contribute to the island culture. They all bring their own experience, insights and perspectives and lead the research in an original direction, grounded to the territory as it is lived. Meanwhile, researchers and experts from related fields are invited to participate, comment and reflect upon the work directly (by involving with the workshop) or indirectly.
These workshops have the objective of making visible and highlighting local heritage (tangible and intangible) and strengthening social cohesion and intergenerational links. The format enables research to be directly connected to the local communities’ representations, needs and aspirations. It also hopes to help develop perspectives on how to live together in ways that are socially, environmentally and culturally respectful of the territory, and make sense for the future.
A first workshop will be set up with the island’s inhabitants, inviting them to present photographic archives including the presence of the sea. Memories and reflections will be recorded. The team will study the collected data and create an online photographic archive and a photographic exhibition (more information).
研討會#1將與島上的居民一起設立，邀請他們展示包括海洋存在的攝影檔案。對海岸線的變化和與海有關的活動的思考將是這些研討會的主題。攝影檔案將被創建。採訪將被記錄下來，並將完成一個攝影展
A second workshop will be set up to identify and monitor shellfish and wild herb collection activities on the coast. The team will then work on a zine of culinary recipes using foraged produces and a moment of conviviality open to the public will conclude the workshop by sharing the recipes.
第二個工作坊將進行識別和檢測沿海貝類以及野菜採集活動。團隊將會製作一本料理誌，介紹如何烹飪覓到的食材，並以對公眾開放的輕鬆食譜分享活動作為工作坊的結束。
The third workshop will look at local architectural techniques and spatial agencies established to develop the coastline and access to the sea. The team will discuss with users to learn about material uses and ad hoc techniques, map the informal arrangements and propose structures and stories building upon local ways and needs.
第三個工作坊將探入為開發海岸線和出海口而成立的當地建築技術和空間機構。團隊將會與用戶探討了解材料的使用和特定的技術，繪製非正式的處理，並根據當地的方式和需求提議結構和樓層。
