搞組織是為了不用上班 – 隱形委員會 「街坊排檔」是一個由下而上支持街坊鄰里的自發性組織。排檔於2015年11月開業，由十一人合作經營。以綠色鐵皮搭建的排檔位於香港油麻地咸美頓街與廣東道交界，附近有蔬果市場、五金店、診所和護老院。 自開業起，排檔已成一個異托邦，由藝術家、農夫、髮型師、咖啡師、塔羅師、教師和社區工作者以多元及彈性的方式合作經營。排檔的顧客來自各階層，貨品和服務全面，從本地種植的有機香蕉到社區街景寫生、從果樹幼苗到社區居民合製的果醬，從不定期的電影放映到每月的「四圍講故」活動，形形式式，一應俱全。 在鄰里們的慷慨支持下，排檔無心插柳地成了一家二手店，商品以可負擔的「自由定價」“Pay-What-You-Think”為定價原則。貨品陳列在排檔旁的街道上，這再造空間現已成為無拘無束的公共休憩區。 「街坊排檔」致力於加強排檔成員及鄰里社區間的連繫，建立一個能體現施與受精神的鄰里社區，而這一切均有賴互助關愛、同理心及社區的支持。 We are building a civilised space here – The Invisible Committee Kai Fong Pai Dong is a self-organised neighbourhood market stall in Yau Ma Tei, which opened in November 2015 to build something with the neighbourhood from the bottom-up. Horizontally-run by 11 people, the green metal structure is located where Hamilton Street meets Canton Road, an intersection home to a fruit and vegetable market, hardware shops and several nursing homes. Since opening, the market stall has become a heterotopia, collaboratively run by artists, farmers, a hairdresser, a barista/social worker, a tarot card reader, teachers and community workers. Visited by an eclectic demographic, the stall offers an expansive range of products and services, from locally grown organic bananas to neighbourhood portraits, from fruit tree seedlings to communal jam-making, and from irregular film screenings to monthly storytelling events. Supported by generous neighbours, the stall has unintentionally become a secondhand shop, distributing objects under an affordable “Pay-What-You-Think” system. These objects are visually-merchandised in a reconfigured space next to the market stall that now also functions as informal public seating. Kai Fong Pai Dong relies on mutual aid, empathy and community support, and aims to empower those that run it and the neighbourhood community. |

排檔與附近街邊的盆栽植物、塑膠椅子、小桌子、書刊、聖誕燈飾、過往活動的海報、街坊人像海報，電影放映會時派發的戲票等，這些存在於排檔的物品，旨在展示出排檔與街坊過去的生活痕跡。排檔的物資如傢具飾品一般都是街坊捐贈的，這無疑顯示了街坊對我們的支持。
排檔的那些植物—「走鬼植物」，身世複雜而坎坷，狀況與照片中台北萬華社區的植物作鮮明對比。藝術家到訪過台北南萬華的社區，發現在地鋪門外栽種的植物保存得相當完整，擺放得甚有系統，具美觀和綠化社區作用。即使如此，當地政府亦沒有因此而嚴加執法。
反而在油麻地，那群「走鬼植物」因被食環署不斷投訴，需要遷離原有位置；即使其後放回原位也好，仍難逃下一次突撃檢查，使植物經營更為困難。離地的想，植物是社區擁有的資本財產，也是用作綠化環境的工具。雖然有部分已經失去了，但是在過程中與街坊或店鋪討論城市發展、一起種植和綠化社區的議題，則引起人們對社區活化的思考。
The plants, stools, tables, books, zines, Christmas lights, street cinema tickets, past event posters and neighbour portraits are all from Kai Fong Pai Dong in Yau Ma Tei. They show traces of what has happened at the market stall and memories shared with our neighbours. They also reflect the support and generosity from our neighbours.
"Running Ghost Plants" are a group of precarious plants located at Kai Fong Pai Dong. They have experienced uphill struggles for survival. The photograph displays the contrasting situation between Yau Ma Tei street market and Taipei’s Wanhua neighbourhood. Two members of Kai Fong Pai Dong visited the Wanhua neighbourhood and found that potted plants were well preserved and arranged neatly outside of shops. Occupying such a space, the Taipei government does not intervene and prosecute the shop owners.
In contrast, at Kai Fong Pai Dong, plants had to be moved following a public complaint and a government warning about the overall cleanliness of the street market. Later the plants were moved back to the market stall, but the government now regularly monitors the street market. It is difficult for Kai Fong Pai Dong to collaborate with the neighbourhood gardeners. These plants are grown by the neighbours and they beautify the neighbourhood. Even though many plants disappeared during the two moves, the remaining plants continue to prompt us to think about revitalisation, urban development and an ecological commons, through our conversations with the neighbours.
