Kaironauts: Unearthing Hidden Mysteries of the Twin Cities | HKURBEX | TEDxPickeringStreet

In their talk "Kaironauts: Unearthing Hidden Mysteries of the Twin Cities", HKURBEX will delve into the shared issues of heritage, urban renewal, and gentrification, between Hong Kong and Singapore and the value of trespassing (via urban exploration). Can urban exploration lead to discourse in heritage preservation, urban renewal, gentrification? Sometimes, unconventional means are necessary to stimulate and provoke a wider conversation. In Hong Kong, a city that regularly puts its past behind itself, a group of urban explorers are on a mission to photograph and immortalize the buildings and sites that have been left behind. What results is a uniquely divergent view of the city and its people. Members of HKURBEX have traveled extensively across the Asia-Pacific region and documented such locations as Taiwan, Indonesia, Tibet, Nepal, China, Japan, Singapore and Australia. In doing so they have built up a deeper understanding of the nature of urban decay and exploration. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
