Cities are often remembered through their architecture or monumental histories. Hong Kong, however, is equally a city recorded through paper.

Through the fragile ephemera of receipts, menus, and handwritten slips, Paper Stories of Hong Kong considers how ordinary paper objects become vessels of memory, carrying the lived experiences of a city across time and distance.

Presented by Urban Poet Hong Kong at the Vancouver Hong Kong Fair, the exhibition brings together Toronto-based Hong Kong artists Drawmud and InkedbyPo in a collaborative exploration of Hong Kong’s everyday paper culture.

城市的記憶，往往透過建築或歷史被記錄；而香港，同時也存在於那些日常被使用、然後被丟棄的紙品之中。你可以從這些紙品之中，走進香港的生活與文化。

透過收據、車票、入場券、手寫單等短暫存在的紙品，《紙看香港》從這些細碎的日常出發，重新觀看這些看似平凡的紙品。

對香港人來說，它們是回憶；對未曾接觸過香港的人來說，則是認識香港日常生活的一個開始。

這些紙品往往最容易被忽略，卻最值得被珍惜；它們不僅是一張紙，而是可以一點一點拼湊出屬於香港的生活痕跡，承載著個人的記憶與時代的流轉。

是次展覽由 Urban Poet Hong Kong 於溫哥華香港人市集呈現，邀請現居多倫多的香港藝術家畫嘜與寶典合作，從藝術角度重新觀看香港的日常紙品文化。
