Two Korean artists want Hong Kong people to take up squatting as an artistic and political activity. That?s squatting as in occupying an abandoned space, not doing exercises to strengthen your butt.
Hong Kong community arts group Woofer Ten hosted Korean husband-and-wife artist-activists Kim Youn Hoan and Kim Kang in July. While in Hong Kong, the Kims explored the potential for squatting in our city's vacant spaces.
Squatting gives artists, activists, as well as vagrants, a chance to reappropriate unused space. That's a nice way of saying "illegally occupying" someone else's property.
