Street Design Union (SDU) is an organization which deals with issues relating to hawkers and public design in Hong Kong, and conducts research and investigations to gather ideas and solutions to provide a better environment for Hong Kong public design.

The Hawkerama Art Exhibition, organized by SDU will provide a platform for local street artists to sell and exhibit their artwork, creating a conglomeration of a variety of different designs in a 3x4 foot area. 16 creative hawker stalls will be at the exhibition, and guest speakers include Dr. Chi-Yuen Leung and Manfred Yuen from Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The event will kick off at 2pm at the cross street of Fa Yuen Street and Nullah Road, located right outside exit B2 of Prince Edward MTR station. There will be a forum that will begin at 3pm.
