Founded in 2015 by Lee Kit and Chantal Wong and managed by Mary Lee Wanling, Things That Can Happen was a non-profit art space located in Sham Shui Po. The impetus for the space was to essentially create an alternative space to institutional ones. During the two years of operation, Things That Can Happen organised exhibitions, artist and curator residencies, as well as other community-centred cultural events.
