Jason Dembski, co-founder HKWalls
Ep.49 | In this episode I met Jason the cofounder of HKWalls and who I have known for over a decade. It’s the first time we sat down and talked about what drove him to host street art festivals, the state of graffiti in Hong Kong and the challenges he faces working with local land owners.
