发现寻常生活中的不寻常

杨雁清

打开点评就能轻松找到附近的餐厅推荐，有了“快乐飞”，周末全国飞来飞去也不再稀奇；在视频网站刷不同人的24小时生活……我们的生活似乎被各种短平快的内容填满了，看上去很充实，却越来越难获得真正的满足感。

“人类观察员”杨雁清擅长用人类学的视角去发现与创造日常。在这场演讲中，我们将跟随她的视角，从北京胡同中的沙发故事出发，走进朋友们的“客厅艺术馆”，观察关系的流动与变化。
当我们愿意用心去感知生活，也许只是每天回家的路上，听听路边的对话、抬头看看晚霞，或是跟朋友、邻居、绿地、花朵甚至砖瓦产生连接——那些让人心动的温柔细节，其实就藏在最平凡的日常中。

杨雁清是一位致力于成为“日常生活艺术家”的人类学研究员，在青年文化领域深耕超过十年，为中外企业与创新组织提供研究与咨询服务。

她擅长用人类学的方式感知日常，也是一位积极的文化联结者与社区营造者。她曾发起过数百场青年分享会、主题共创工作坊和社区艺术项目，如“胡同里的沙发人类学”“开放动物园”“朋友们的客厅艺术馆”等，并受邀在21世纪教育研究院、香港MaD大会、Design For Change 中国年会等平台主持或演讲。

Discover the extraordinary in ordinary life

Candy Yang

With a few taps on a review app, you can find great restaurants nearby. “Happy Fly” makes spontaneous weekend trips across the country feel totally normal. On video platforms, we scroll through 24-hour diaries of strangers…

Our lives are packed with fast, bite-sized content that seems to fill every moment—but leaves us feeling less and less fulfilled.

In this talk, “human observer” Candy Yang invites us to look at everyday life through her anthropological lens. We follow her into Beijing’s hutongs to uncover the stories behind old sofas, and step into friends’ living room galleries to witness how relationships shift and evolve.
When we pay attention to life itself, it could be as simple as listening to a passing conversation on the way home, looking up for a minute to watch the sky change colors, or reconnecting with people and places—friends, neighbors, parks, flowers, bricks.
The tender, moving moments that truly touch us are often hidden in the most ordinary parts of daily life.

Candy Yang is an anthropologist committed to becoming an artist of everyday life. With over a decade of experience in youth culture studies, she has provided insights and consulting for companies and innovation groups across China and beyond.

She excels at interpreting and shaping the everyday through an anthropological lens and is also a vibrant cultural connector and community builder.

Candy has initiated hundreds of youth events, co-creation workshops, and community art programs like “Sofa Anthropology in the Hutongs”, “Open Zoo”, and “Friends’ Living Room Art Gallery”.

She’s been invited to speak and moderate at events hosted by the 21st Century Education Research Institute, Hong Kong’s MaD Conference, Design For Change China, and more.
