What is Fenwick pier?

Fenwick Pier was a historic building located in Wanchai, Hong Kong. It witnessed and embodied the complexities of Hong Kong's British colonial past, as well as the influence of mainland China in recent years. Following the local government's announcement of its demolition in 2022, cultural worker Yang Tong, with the technical support of MetalinkArt, brought the pier into the digital realm. This initiative represents a collaborative effort across various creative domains to preserve cultural heritage. It also aims to maintain transparency regarding the region's history, enabling practices to examine cultural legacies.

Although Fenwick Pier has lost its physical presence in Wanchai, it continues to serve as a space for cultural activities in Hong Kong and beyond. True to its original name and purpose, it remains a pier that connects communities and perspectives from different realms through the mediation of artistic and cultural practices.
