We Still Dance
In a changing city landscape, what’s left to discover?
Tsuen Wan
City life is hectic. Every day, we rush from point A to point B without even pausing to look up. When did you last enjoy a slow walk, relishing every step and looking at every brick, noticing what lies beneath the city’s glitzy exterior?
Local art tech pioneers, Rooftop Productions, take you on a journey through Tsuen Wan with their app specifically devised for the district—Hong Kong’s first satellite town—traversing both time and space. Audio guides dig into fascinating details about urban development, retelling stories of the past. Dancers appear in the app as virtual guides, leading you to unexpected corners.
Discover a renewed relationship with the city as we uncover the hidden networks beneath the familiar surface, revealing the changing face of the neighbourhood through the decades.
