“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!

It’s fascinating how this series turns something as simple as looking out of a window into such a layered and personal reflection. Each story feels different, yet there’s a shared sense of how environments shape us. While reading, I was reminded of some creative projects I’ve been involved with (you can see one at https://thelionskingswraps.com/ ) that also explore how everyday details can connect us to larger ideas of change, culture, and identity.
