因為一般被認為是專業象徵的塑膠名牌好悶，我們在活動上用的工作人員證都是自家製作。這些Crew Juppers 證製作劣質，但集合一位成員舊衣剪成的布條，以及另一位成員家中的廢紙 —— 當中包括舊雜誌、清湯和其他物品的紙盒包裝、過時名片和舊信封。其實只要你瞪大隻眼，用用個腦，有用的物品其實無處不在。製作這些工作證，總共需要我們至少 2 個小時，但相比起它們需要的分解時間又算是甚麼。

We won RoadShow Green Award
Doing JUPYEAH was very natural to us that we never thought about getting any awards or formal recognitions. But yesterday we got our very first award, which to our surprise, came as a great encouragement, showing us a new path. Thanks to Roadshow and the reputable judges for finding some values from our unprofessional group… Continue reading We won RoadShow Green Award
Pop Up Swap Spring 2013 open now!

The gallery space has been very supportive to charity projects in town, and is offering us to use… Continue reading Pop Up Swap Spring 2013 open now!
JupYeah Turns One
Today last year we hosted our first swap, humbly visited by 73 guests and friends. It came just naturally to us after some small gatherings among us doing the same thing. Not much did we think theoretically, nor did we think about its influence and expansion that followed throughout the year. In our last swap,… Continue reading JupYeah Turns One
Living without Money
我們與上一代之別，在於他們活著是為了生存，我們已經生存過來，求的是精神生活，就連庸俗盲目者亦然。確實如此，滿身華衣、酌樂笙歌背後無非為了自我感覺良好，說到底消費背後只有一個無形的理由。惟獨只有真正空乏者方需要以滿屋物質來堆砌美滿人生，這點大家都知道。老早在佔領華爾華爆發之前，我們都已經有感 Matrix 那種世不我與的感覺。我甚至在豆菀之年已經深受《Adbusters》所薰陶，自少熟習現實不存在於視線範圍之內。近日對於possession的退減和洗禮，在《Living without Money》尋得最好的知音和應。
Behind JupYeah: 為甚麼收入場費？
JUPYEAH 幾次收到一個我們非常驚訝的問題：為甚麼收入場費？
On the Press: 給予舊物重生機會
The weather is so bad today. As I work in front of the window I have seen tides of rain… But then I got a text message from the columnist at The Hong Kong Economic Journal saying our story is on today’s papers! Thank god, I grabbed the last copy from the grocery store. Thanks… Continue reading On the Press: 給予舊物重生機會
Behind JupYeah: hope everyone was happy :)
This is one of the busiest days to us before the August pop up swap, when we finally and for the first time met our incredible new backstage juppers who volunteer their priceless help to make JUPYEAH a stronger spirit. I hope we weren’t too embarrassing and managed to make a good impression, so they… Continue reading Behind JupYeah: hope everyone was happy 🙂
Less Stuff, More Happiness
How can less stuff bring more happiness? Graham Hill has his point! The 350 sq ft apartment bachelor brought out the most important change city life needs – shopping makes our life not better, but narrower because the more we shop, the bigger apartment we want, the more burben to our everything. Let’s be material-wise!
Swap in Mexico
We know it without actually hearing it: some older people think what we are doing at Jupyeah is tiny. They may be right but by swapping many great deeds could be achieved – if we have the heart and wit for it. Mexico City, faced with the closing of its major landfill and the terrible… Continue reading Swap in Mexico
