As a part of the public space, busking also constructs the emotions and memories of Hong Kong people. The policy on the problem of public space and busking, has not produced satisfactory results. And the street performers, are still trying to find their own answers.]]> 2020-12-01 15:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/Queena0118/uc8hueisxtqumu6w/wish/976141105 Queena0118 https://padlet.com/Queena0118/uc8hueisxtqumu6w/wish/976174439 Interestingly, Queen was surrounded by a group of men who had been photographing her.
