Abstract
This thesis aims to analyse and intervene in the spaces in Hong Kong where domestic helpers gather on Sundays and public holidays. By proposing and potentially implementing a series of temporary cardboard installations that overturn the division between the public and domestic spheres, this thesis intends to use the pop-up culture of the weekend to turn streets and public parks into places of commoning, to give greater visibility to domestic workers and to advocate subversively for long term equitability in laws, wages and working conditions.
