香港的街市是極具特色及價值的。它除了為社區提供廉價的生活必需品及食物外，那些綠色的牌檔更是遊客眼中特別的「建築群」。
為了推廣及保留這街市文化，藝術家黃國才年前在旺角花園街舉辦了一個名為 Hawkerama (Hawker + Panorama)的活動，讓一班藝術家及設計師與小販合作，創作出獨特有趣的「檔口」。活動成功吸引到很多甚少「流連」街市的觀眾參與，令他們體會及明白到街市的文化及經濟價值。對黃國才而言，能集合一群藝術家、設計師及學生去為社區做點 事和幫助弱勢社群, 這是更有意義的。
延續牌檔藝術嘉年華的成功，黃國才這次聯同20多位藝術家，把「牌檔」搬到灣仔，跟觀眾打成一片。
Hong Kong’s street markets are fascinating places. They traditionally supply everyday necessities such as food, clothing, kitchen items and fruit at a low cost to the community. The green booths of the hawker stalls also have architectural interest for visitors from abroad, giving “texture” to the street life of the city.
In July 2012, artist Kacey Wong put his ideas to the test with an exhibition in Fa Yuen Street entitled Hawkerama, a name coming from Hawker + Panorama. There were games, food, music, and fun events conceived by artists and designers set out amid the real hawker stalls. Viewers first had to purchase something from the market before enjoying the other creations as a way of promoting this side of street culture.
It was a great success, not only attracting many people who don’t normally go to a street market, but also allowing the art and design professionals involved to generate positive energy and social awareness.
Together with more than 20 artists, Wong has brought the Hawkerama to DETOUR to promote Hong Kong’s street culture to a broader audience, and raise public awareness of the difficulties hawkers now face in a fun way.
