In the era of information overload, when is the last time you paid attention to the sounds around you? 

The numerous sounds that exist in each space become its soundscape, creating a unique listening experience that is sometimes deeper than what meets the eye. There are sounds that we may no longer hear every day. However, imagination and a pair of attentive ears are all we need to connect fond memories with new surroundings. 

Earlier in March, HK House and artist Samson Cheung explored the soundscape of Vancouver together with some Hong Konger diaspora. The exhibition will share their listening journey of the echoes of home and their thoughts behind.

喺資訊爆炸嘅年代，我哋有幾耐無細心聆聽身邊嘅事物﹖

每個地方形形色色嘅聲音構成聲景 (soundscape)，造就獨一無二嘅聆聽經驗，有時甚至比眼見嘅更深刻。有啲聲音我哋可能唔再日日都聽到，但透過用心聆聽新嘅環境，我哋其實可以運用想像力將新舊體驗同回憶連繫上。

香港屋喺3月時請嚟聲景藝術家張才生同幾位香港移民一齊探索溫哥華嘅聲景，展覽會同大家分享佢哋尋找家嘅迴響嘅過程同感受。
