街角一隅的雜貨店、散發香氣的洗衣店、留存童年回憶的文具店，每間靜默地屹立城市角落的店舖，原來滿載情懷待你發掘。今年的「城巿閘誌」展覽將與你細味過去四屆，全港九個區總共八十三道鐵閘畫作，寄載一個個充滿人情味且獨一無二的社區故事。
「城市閘誌」由香港青年藝術協會主辦，渣打銀行（香港）有限公司全力策動，以藝術創作記錄口述歷史及地區故事，自2017年起，藝術團隊走進見證百年市集發展的灣仔、特色小店林立的中西區、留有製衣業歲月痕跡的深水埗、傳統手工業百花齊放的旺角和油麻地、老饗「搵食」的九龍城、擁有百年漁村歷史的鴨脷洲；2022年來到有「小尼泊爾」之稱的佐敦、曾經是港島最龐大工業城的鰂魚涌，以及昔日漁民聚居重鎮的筲箕灣，讓鐵閘說出社區小故事，留住屬於香港的集體回憶。
展覽由5月23日至6月1日在太古城中心南座地下舉行，費用全免。展覽期間即場下載「城市閘誌」手機應用程式，更可獲贈精美紀念品，歡迎瀏覽「城巿閘誌」Facebook專頁（@HKUrbanCanvas）了解更多計劃詳情。
