“Not only functions of space are exchanged. ‘Exchange’ itself
becomes the function of the space.”
In the middle of the renowned financial and shopping district
of Hong Kong lies Exchange Square. The name underlines
not only the exchange of monetary value but also the
people’s mobility: each Sunday, tens of thousands of female
domestic workers from South and Southeast Asia reclaim
the public space, here and in the surrounding streets and
squares.
The artist Moira Zoitl has concerned herself with these
women’s living and working conditions and with their everyday
life and activism. EXCHANGE SQUARE presents artistic
and collaborative projects, complemented by analytical
texts and interviews about the forms of and the reasons for
globalized job migration. Corazon Amaya-Canete’s photographs
strongly convey the manifold political and social activities
of the domestic workers in the city space, while those
of Ralf Hoedt focus on the high-rise agglomerations of
the urban periphery.
