In March 2015, it relocated to its current premises in North Point, a neighbourhood which had previously been a refugee camp and gathering place for mainland Chinese from the 1930s to late 1940s.

Tobias Berger, curator at M+ and Executive Director of Para Site at the time, said that the move represented ‘a big step forward for the non-profit sector’.

Past exhibitions stemming from the program include Imagine there’s no country, Above us only our cities, by Jims Lam Chi Hang, in 2015 and That Has Been, and May be Again, by Leo Li Chen and Wu Mo, in 2016.
