Eye To Eye: Jockey Club Social Documentation Roving Exhibition

Overview

In early 2012, the Festival via open call recruited 35 groups of people of a wide-ranging background for a two-month image storytelling mentorship. This four-part roving exhibition is the showcase of what they have learnt.

Catch a glimpse of the life of those who may be lesser known to us: an international school student, a retiree, an ex-inmate, a young man with autism, an office secretary, an architectural surveyor, a Nepali high school student, a construction worker, a tofu factory manager, a sex worker, an operating theatre nurse, a monk, a train captain, a flight attendant, a local Indonesian newspaper reporter, a Somali refugee, a group of newly arrived / cross-border secondary school students, a Ma Si Po resident, a rooftop tenant, and many more. Their stories contain hope and dismay, tears and laughters, different approaches to life, and different ways of seeing. As we sample the feast of life, we cannot help but take stock that of our own.
