Dear Hong Kong Exhibition

Dear Hong Kong exhibition

歡迎來到《鄉港家書》的展覽。在這個相片展覽中,你能認識到一班視香港為「家」的「異鄉人」,走進他們在香港生活的故事,重新思考身份、尊重及共融的議題。
 
幾十幅的攝影作品,選自我們去年出版的首本雙語相冊。團隊收錄80位不同國家或地區的異鄉港人故事。每個故事背後,刻畫他們對香港貢獻的痕跡,成為文化的載體。
 
作為非牟利的人物特寫計劃,《鄉港家書》渴望打破香港「本土」和「外國」社群之間的隔膜,成為彼此之間互相認識,互相連繫的橋樑。
 
希望你能花少許時間,從我們幾位攝影師的角度出發,細嚼每個故事,與身邊的朋友分享,一同建構多元、共融的社會。

鄉港家書首席攝影師:Bradley Aaron
 
Bradley現時是EmpowerU的項目總監,這是一個由香港大學講師創辦的非牟利組織,為非本地外籍傭工和青年提供服務。

他7年前來到香港,這些年來,香港人的掙扎已為他們定義了自己的身份,無需依靠外在文化去詮釋。
 
他在「鄉港家書」擔任攝影師,希望以一幀幀的照片呈現香港的多元性與獨特性。
Welcome to the Dear Hong Kong exhibition, a selection of stories from the bilingual Dear Hong Kong photo book published last year. On this journey, you will discover the cultural perspectives of foreigners who have become Hongkongers.
 
Dear Hong Kong began as a social project to bridge the gap between ‘local’ and ‘foreign’ communities in Hong Kong and challenge stereotypes towards a more inclusive society. This first volume is a snapshot of inspiring people from 80 parts of the world who live in Hong Kong and have contributed to our society.
 
Join us on our journey, where we bring these stories closer to you, from the perspectives of our photographers, in hopes of sparking a conversation around identity, respect, and unity.

Head Photographer of Dear Hong Kong: Bradley Aaron

Bradley is currently the program director of EmpowerU, which is a local non profit organization founded by HKU instructors that serves migrant domestic workers and ethnically diverse HK youth.

He arrived in Hong Kong seven years ago, and his time here has been characterised by the struggle of Hongkongers to present an identity of the territory defined on its own terms rather than by ties to an outside culture.

He joined the Dear Hong Kong project as a photographer to help to document and share the role of Hong Kong’s diversity in the city’s emerging self-definition.

Sincerely,
Dear Hong Kong
