Jaffa Lam is a Hong Kong-based artist specialising in large-scale, site-specific, and mixed-media works. She often employs recycled materials, such as wood, stone, old furniture, abandoned metal, and umbrella fabric. For nearly three decades, she's built a community-based practice to explore issues related to local culture, history, society, and current affairs. She deftly highlights the city's disappearing craftsmanship, while fostering the ecosystem of art and the urban environment. Her works provide social commentary and create unique dialogues to allow viewer interaction and collaborative engagement, in addition to activating spaces where multiple voices can be heard.
