Kai Tak’s Story
Artwork Description

Inspired by poet Uncle Hung (Yuen Che Hung), Onion Peterman captures the amusing sights of everyday life in the Kai Tak community through illustrations. Kai Tak’s Story depicts the area’s rich history, tracing its transformation from the former Tai Hom Village and Kai Tak Airport to Kai Tak Amusement Park, then to an industrial zone, and finally to the present day Kai Tak Development Area. Uncle Hung’s poems provide another perspective on the community’s unique vibes. The poet has organised a series of poetry creation activities in the past year, gathering memories and stories from the community's residents, including the elderly, children, and young people.
