「活化厅」诚意邀请大家「齐齐来，帮帮手」，见证和参与第一届的「小西九双年展」。这个「小西九双年展」以「齐齐来，帮帮手」为题，用意是凸显活化厅社区艺术创作所强调的社群参与及互动。

在过去一年，活化厅积极联繫油麻地的街坊社群，从「多多奖少少赏」、「师父赞」到「六十四件事」等，可谓包罗万有。这次小双年展，以不同方法，邀请人们走埋一齐，强化社群对社区的关注。
各式「奇」式的方法包括有：

1）突出某种公众的议题
俞若玫把街上收集的纸张以摺纸化成象徵发声的小喇叭花，程展纬则邀请街坊捐出浮水物品构筑出方舟，逃避西九罪恶城将招的大雨洪水。...

2）启动某种集体的记忆
阿金将会把收集来的西九冀盼装在一个时间囊，埋在活化厅下，待西九文化区揭幕一天，才重开拿来对照。李峻峰将会以油麻地黑帮的龙头棍为模，製作一街坊小食。...

3）向街坊街里提供服务
罗文乐将会为炳记铜器製作广告，锺惠恩则为邻近店舖绘画铁闸。...

4）传递某种路人的观点
关尚智和黄慧研受街头各式的禁止告示触发，以此行文写诗，另亦设计寻回好市民，派送他们艺术家设计的好市民ｔｅｅ。...

参展的艺术家都将出席双年展的揭幕招待会。

活化厅另将于「小西九双年展」期间，举行「活化厅，超错！」周年报告发佈与检讨论坛，听取收集各方对于活化厅的失败批评，集思广益，并共同探讨社区艺术的发展。作为一月份之特备活动，详情容后公佈。

Come together and give me a hand

Siu Sai Gual Bananale
(1st Mini West Kowloon Biennial )

WOOFER TEN is pleased to present "Come together and give me a hand", the first Mini West Kowloon Biennial, featuring the participatory and social interactive works of its core members. For the past year, WOOFER TEN have been actively engaging the communities in the Yau Ma Tei area. The projects they instigated range from "Prize! Prize! Prize!", the craftsman awards for those in the neighborhood, to "64 incidents", to a revisiting of the 4th of June incident by local artists.

This Biennial is an exploration of strategies for inviting people to come together and raise communal awareness. These are achieved through:

1) highlighting a common cause. Cally Yu's origami flower wall invites people to transform found posters on the street into trumpet flowers, the trumpet being a symbol of protest. Luke Ching's West Kowloon Criminal District: Noah's Ark is a conglomerate of floating objects donated by people;

2) activating a collective memory. Ah Gum will plant a time capsule underground in the 404 Shanghai Street space to be unearthed when WKCD launches. Lee Chun Fung will make a chocolate snack call the Dragon Scepter, cast in the shape of the power symbol once held by the Yau Ma Tei triad.

3) providing a service for neighbors. Law Man Lok will make a ad sign for Bing Kee Copperware, Chung Wai Yan will spend months painting the store gates of neighboring shops.

4) transmitting a personal point of view, Kwan Sheung Chi and Wong Wai Yin are inspired by prohibiting signs on the street (Post No Bills, No Smoking) to write poetry. They will also test, if not trap, people to reward them with a Good Citizen T-shirt...

The artists will be present at the opening reception.

Woofer Ten will also hold its annual open report to its public stakeholders, together with a forum " Woofer Ten, All wrong " discussing contemporary community art development in conjunction with the Mini West Kowloon Biennial. Stay tune for more detail on this upcoming January function.
