  • Asian Consortium: Hong Kong

    The Asian Consortium, part of the Hong Kong 10DAYFEST from the Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation, was a great success.

    Brief overview: “140 social innovators from all over Asia came to Hong Kong to channel their ideas of social innovation. Founders of social enterprises, start-ups and leaders in academia from 20 countries, more than 25 nationalities have shared their latest projects in the Network Conference, opened the “Living room by Asian Consortium” exhibition, networked in Changemakers Party and joined the local Excursion to experience social challenges in Hong Kong and explore ways to promote social innovation movements here” – view the photo gallery.

    Myself and Terence produced a poster for the “Living room” exhibition through our new company Firma which you can download here in either A3 format or A0 format.

    I also had the opportunity to present a bit about Firma and our work. You can view a round up of the trip and the presentation on slideshare.

  • Hotel Yeoville book published

    After quite some time Terry Kurgan has published her book documenting the Hotel Yeoville project. I have a chapter in it and am thus most chuffed.

    It’s a truly thoughtful and beautiful record of a highly ambitious artistic, social and cultural intervention into one of the most complex spaces in Johannesburg. It’s really wonderful stuff.
