TEDxSeoul 에서의 하워드 챈.

Howard is a curator but he does not work for a typical gallery. 

He is more interested in working with social resources, 

and is an active leader of CMP (Community Museum Project) in Hong Kong. 

CMP collects knowledge and skills that are small but matured from the locals, 

and therefore, the main agents of creativity are always the people and the society of our local neighborhood. 

He reviews and reinvents nameless designs to something valuable. 

For example, a project called "Project: In Search of Marginalized Wisdom" lets residents 

with traditional skills, designers, and architects to collaborate and create something totally different. 

Every product aims to be made by the idea of upcycling. 

The reason for him to run these projects are related to the change in the economics. 

Skilled workers are losing their job and becoming housekeepers and securities. 

Also, the redevelopment of old town takes history, culture, and livelihood away from the residents. 

He is trying to drag knowledge and skills from those people back to the society. 

He is working hard to develop these studies into forms of exhibition, collaboration, or even as a new start up. 

In Korea, he ran 'Dissatisfaction Museum' project in Anyang after gathering all kinds of discontent 

from the local people and visualize the collections.
