Trapped in Cage Homes 侷住體驗館

11:00am - 01:00pm
Tai Kok Tsui

Have you ever imagined living in a cage-like space?

Hear firsthand accounts from low-income residents who will guide you through the tour featuring a one-to-one restoration of cramped living conditions.

Through this event, launched by the Society for Community Organization (SoCO), participants can gain a deeper understanding of the impact of poverty on individuals and communities and reflect on ways to create a more equitable and just society. Join this powerful journey, experience the realities of life for low-income residents in Hong Kong and be inspired to take action towards a better future for all.

籠屋、劏房、板間房、閣仔房、棺材房……生存環境擠迫惡劣,住屋問題困擾數以十萬計基層市民多年,「侷住」狹窄的空間讓很多基層市民陷於絕望困境。香港社區組織協會成立「侷住體驗館」,讓市民可親歷其境,親身體驗基層住屋實況,探討和關注基層住屋議題。 

由無家者及不適切居所的街坊化身導賞員,帶領參加者觀賞及講解體驗館內容,並設有真人圖書館環節與參加者互動,透過分享生命故事、經歷及感受,了解基層市民的住屋困難,加強對基層住屋生活的認識及關懷。
