The site used to be the Shek Kip Mei factory estate that housed small family-run mills, but was revitalised into an artist village and creative hub in 2008. Nowadays, the JCCAC is populated with approximately 140 experimental artistic studios and cultural organisations.
We particularly like the Lam Yau Sum Studio, with the eponymous artist’s work blending trees, little human figurines, and electrical components in slightly dystopian microverses. Also check out Floating Projects, which is an experiment into how artists can survive outside the commercial gallery system or the public funded charity model with institutionally defined restraints.
