Kay Chan Wan Ki, Curator of deTour 2023

Kay Chan is a product designer and community interaction planner specialising in sustainable design, whilst integrating art and design into public spaces to promote community and environmental inclusion.

Kay’s edge in community interaction planning has led her to infuse elements of community participation in most of her work. In 2018, she designed the Tsuen Wan Yi Pei Square Playground as part of the ‘Play is for the People’ programme sponsored by CreateHK. In 2020, Kay redesigned Choi Yee Bridge Garden for the ‘Viva! River’ project to raise awareness for environmental and ecological protection. She has also led education programmes for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, M+, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and PMQ. In recent years, Kay’s focus on interactive communication has inspired her to curate the opening exhibition of ‘Our Living Library’ at Oil Art Space (2022).

Kay is best known for sowing public creativity and turning interactions with public spaces into artistic and community explorations. Her design of the Tsuen Wan Yi Pei Square Playground won the Grand Award at the 2021 DFA Design for Asia Awards. In the same year, her sustainable design project ‘Revive: Salted Fish’ was named Gold Winner at South Korea’s Asia Design Prize.
