Issues of recycling and sustainability have played an important role in recent public discourses in Hong Kong.[Cf] Community activities, which engage in the recycling of maritime material culture, include Ching Sze-Yin Cicy’s participation in FarmFest 2019 held at Fa Hui Park in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, where students of the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University transformed leftover shells from a food stand at the venue into small objects, many of them fish-shaped.[Cf] They evoke the fish-shaped game counters carved in Guangzhou during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
