    When I came across this beautiful and fascinating photo book about Queen’s Road West I really wanted to share it with you. Queen’s Road West, The Vanishing Neigbourhood, has 90 pages of photographs of the diverse businesses and people of the area, and some brief histories to satisfy your curiosity.

    Prompted by the disappearance of the iconic Sammy’s Kitchen neon cow, Sovereign Art Foundation Chairman, Howard Bilton and photographer, William Furniss set out to document Queen’s Road West before its quirky character is lost. This unique photo book is the end result.

    How to Purchase

    You can purchase the book online (price $45USD) at the Sovereign Art Foundation’s website here or by emailing [email protected]. Proceeds will help to fund the Foundation’s work with some of Hong Kong’s poorest children.

    What is the Make It Better Project?

    All proceeds from sales of the book will be donated to The Sovereign Art Foundation, to assist their work in helping Hong Kong’s disadvantaged children through their Make It Better Project. Make It Better offers weekend and weekday workshops to the children of families living in poverty, in cramped conditions and isolated from their peers. Make It Better workshops offer empowering learning activities reinforced by visual and expressive arts to teach children self-awareness and confidence, helping them to build respect for themselves and others, develop stronger focus, and engage with the wider community.

    The first project of its kind in Hong Kong, Make It Better currently reaches over 200 children in seven locations and works with 60 volunteers. The programme is continuously growing and is now also working with children with special educational needs (SEN).  Through 2017 and beyond, SAF intends develop and maintain this ground-breaking concept whilst continuously learning from, improving and sharing a programme that withstands the test of time – resulting in lasting, positive inclusion for the youth of Hong Kong.
