In this episode, Andrew and guest, Maria Wong co-founder and Managing Director of HKWALLS, talk about the changing face of Soho where Maria grew up and where HKWALLS’ office is located: how the 11-year old not-for-profit has contributed to the rise of the area through its annual street art festival.

They talk about growing local appreciation for murals, specific projects such as a mural on a six-storey tong lau building in Kowloon City, which took one week to complete.

Maria talks about preparing for the coming festival to bring ideas such as their On the Move component in last year’s edition to fruition, which involves finding the right partners.

A conversation that lifts the veil on the magic behind the scenes of this terrific brainchild of Wong and her co-founder husband Jason Dembski.
