你對當舖有甚麼印象?是街角高掛的「押」字招牌,還是電影、電視劇裏才會出現的地方?
其實,當舖是一種傳統、古老而合法的借錢機制。以前的人把物件暫時抵押,換取現金周轉;一張當票,記下的不只是物件價值,也是一段生活需要。
今次,我們來到昔日「振安大押」舊址、如今的「壹當」社區共享空間。在舊當舖裏的咖啡店,我們會一起認識當舖的運作、文化與歷史,並透過 World Cafe 形式,輕鬆聊聊生活中的「押、存、贖、換」。
在昔日典當物件的地方,我們交換一點時間、好奇,以及對城市和生活的重新理解。

What comes to mind when you think of a pawnshop — the “pawn” sign, or scenes from films and TV dramas?
Pawnshops are a traditional and legal way of borrowing money, where people once pawned items for short-term cash needs. Each pawn ticket recorded not only an item’s value, but also a moment in someone’s life.
This time, we visit the former Chun On Pawn Shop, now Project House, a community space. In its café, we’ll explore pawnshop culture and history through a World Café conversation on “pawning, keeping, redeeming, and exchanging.”
In a place once used for pawning objects, we’ll exchange time, curiosity, and new ways of seeing the city and life.
📅 Date: 10/5 (Mon)
⏰ Time: 2:30-4pm
📍 Location: Former Site of Chun On Pawn Shop | 91 Wan Chai Road
