The exhibition, Cities of Desire, is premised on a critique of the frantic imaging politics and culturalisation of urban space, as well as the neutralisation of political spaces through cultural means. It showcases artistic and grassroots place-making tactics, bringing together artists and architects who deal with the concept of place from a wide variety of perspectives, considering both the making and imagining of city spaces and their representative meanings. www.hkac.org.hk/ www.city-transit.org/ct/
