In recent years, there has been wider application of oral history in both academic and community projects than it was like one to two decades ago. Less effort however is made to apply oral history as a rigorous method to collect and share people’s memories with the public. An online exhibition project, “Community Memory of Yaumatei”, under the Hong Kong Memory is an initiative to investigate the concept of “community” based on people’s accounts of their lived experiences in and memories about the place. Not surprisingly, the landmarks remembered by the people are different from the official discourses aiming to boost tourism. The meaning of a community varies by the different individuals and groups depending on their social and cultural experiences attached to the geographical space. As community is fluid, multiple and subjective, what is essential is that more memories from other inhabitants and also passers-by will be stimulated from this first group of oral histories. This snowballing practice has the potential to bring new inquiry about urban development and other associated issues. In this seminar, the speaker will discuss the concept, method, process and outcome of this project with the illustration of the exhibition website.
