In October 2020, Sampson Wong together with videographer Eric Tsang, launched a YouTube channel, titled “When in doubt, take a walk”, to publish videos of individuals wandering in the city (especially in Hong Kong). This is a timely project not only in the highly politicised Hong Kong, but also in places fronting the outbreak of the pandemic. Having a walk has become a precious moment for people to have fresh air, sunlight and look at the urban built environment that we love. This workshop would be a quarantine version of the walk. Sampson will connect with one of the researchers of this program, Yvette Wong, who will be in quarantine during the workshop. We invite you to join us, all together to have a walk for Yvette, and other people who are isolated in this period. With the walk, we encounter, we care, reclaim, and expand our enjoyment and possibilities in the urban spaces from Hong Kong to Amsterdam.
In this workshop, Sampson will lead us to do some creative exercises and guide us to the walk behind our screen.
