Sundays are the best in Manila. Open streets, everything in slo-mo. Trips to Salcedo Market with mom shopping for organic greens and preserved fish and quietly savouring a toasted sugar crepe. Thinking about getting another piece of recycled wooden frame and saying telling myself why not. I'd do it week after week.
Here in Hong Kong, I crave for this kind of market or collective. And thankfully there's one that happens every once in a while.
The JCCAC (Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre) is an architectural conversion from the former Shek Kip Mei Factory Estate know for making cotton materials. It houses an Artist Village that perpetuate art in all forms, from painting, sculpture, ceramic, printmaking, photography, animation and even music. Each artist or creative group holds room in the building. Better seen that explained. What wonderful rooms!
Last Sunday, the JCCAC hosted a handmade fair with students and young designers showing off their creations. I met up with my friend Adaline, the Doufou Mafia (check out her veggie food blog here) and went around the make shift booths and went in some of the artist spaces.
