“客堂间”是上海外滩美术馆于2020年发起的长期社区项目，联合外滩地区的教育者、艺术家、学者、建筑师、策展人及邻里，通过公共实践记录周边社区的变迁，关注区域内社会与个体经验的演变。
“客堂间”源自上海话Khek Dhang Ke，意为“客厅”。在士绅化的过程中，曾经的居民与项目合作者已逐渐迁移，展开新生活。《客堂间故事》于美术馆十五周年之际回访故友，重拾合作记忆，收录他们重要的人生时刻的同时也记录了美术馆周边地区的更迭。
《客堂间故事》系列纪录短片邀请原虎丘路居民平平阿姨、孔阿姨；原汉口路居民陈升强；原四川路火玉坊餐厅经营者陈连云、陈月燕；原虎丘路正旭发廊经营者周正蓬；“客堂间”项目合作艺术家孙大肆、张丽华、方胆疼；“客堂间”项目合作教育者童毓舟；“城市考古”创始人徐明；“客堂间”项目发起人徐天天、潘旻、郑佩菡等共同参与拍摄。此次系列短片由上海外滩美术馆团队诸邦嘉、徐天天、赵一冰策划，特邀导演沈仲旻拍摄与制作。实习生甄宬、维林诺亦有贡献。
在2025外滩建筑节期间，《客堂间故事》于每日11:00-12:00循环放映。9月20日，陈连云、陈月燕、张琴芳、徐天天、赵一冰一起展开来公共对谈。
“Khek Dhang Ke” is a long-term community project initiated by the Rockbund Art Museum in 2020. It brings together educators, artists, scholars, architects, curators, and neighbors to document the evolving life of the Bund through public practice, fostering local connections and mutual understanding.
The name “Khek Dhang Ke,” meaning “living room” in the Shanghai dialect, reflects a space once shared for exchange and gathering. As gentrification has transformed the area, many former residents and collaborators have moved on to new chapters in their lives. Khek Dhang Ke Anecdotes revisits these individuals on the museum’s 15th anniversary, gathering memories of past collaborations while tracing both personal milestones and changes in the neighborhood.
The documentary short series, Khek Dhang Ke Anecdotes, invited the following individuals to participate in the filming: Pingping and Kong, residents who previously lived on Huqiu Road; Chen Shengqiang, a resident who previously lived on Hankou Road; Chen Lianyun and Chen Yueyan, the former owners of Huoyu Noodles on Sichuan Road; Zhou Zhengpeng, the former owner of Zhengxu Barbershop on Huqiu Road; Sun Dasi, Zhang Lihua, and Fang Danteng, collaborating artists for the Khek Dhang Ke program; Jovi Tong, a collaborating educator for the project; Xu Ming, the founder of Urban Archeo; and Xu Tiantian, Pan Min, and Zheng Peihan, the initiators of the Khek Dhang Ke program.
This short film series was curated by Joni Zhu, Xu Tiantian, and Tintin Zhao from the Rockbund Art Museum team in Shanghai, and filmed and edited by director Ag. Interns Zhen Cheng and Valinor Yinuo Wu also contributed.
Khek Dhang Ke Anecdotes had been screening daily on the Museum Plaza during the RAMa 2025, with a public conversation between Chen Lianyun, Chen Yueyan, Zhang Qinfang, Xu Tiantian and Tintin Zhao on September 20.
