“Hong Kong people are born to have to move away from home, to find another place to live in…"
In the last episode of Windows Series 1, we caught Hong Kong-based community organiser @nicholas___wong during a brief stopover in London, recording an intimate window-side story amidst his home’s societal upheavals.
Along with soundscapes of migrating swallows, tree-top monkeys and sunlit curtains, ‘Nicholas - Things Change Overnight’ invites us to consider how we hold on to the things we know, as past and present political realities collide.
Thank you all for listening to Windows. It's produced by @ivandavoine and @thechichidodo and powered by Transmission Roundhouse, with cover art by @efffiejordan
We’ll be back, and keep an eye out for behind-the-scenes photos and videos from our recordings!

1: Derick - A Wider World
Originally conceived as a pilot which then took on a life of its own, in Episode 1 we listen to the show's co-producer Derick as he muses on the view from his window.
To watch the world pass by from your home’s window is an intimate experience: at once deeply personal and yet universal, cinematic even, at times. Although we all do it, when was the last time someone asked you, sincerely; what do you see when you look outside your window?
