Satellite Exhibitions 2021

In our third edition of Satellite Exhibitions, we continue to connect local image makers with venue partners to create new photographic encounters in different corners of our hometown. Image makers this year have been provided with continuous guidance and support from established practitioners to present their work to the public. At the same time, we extended our open calls to collaborators interested in sharing our platform to promote concurrent showcases.

The 16 Satellite Exhibitions and 5 collaborator exhibitions this year explore a wide range of topics, such as the culture of technology, impacts of the pandemic, reflections on the body and inner emotions, memories of the city and nature. The idea of presenting these expressions and activities across Hong Kong is to encourage conversations between people of different ages and backgrounds, and explorations into different parts of our city; using creative practices as a means to deepen our connection with the people and spaces we co-inhabit.

In our printed guides, you will find specially designed visiting routes for venturing beyond the Satellite Exhibitions venues, exploring the neighbouring shops, eateries and sites. We also offer audio-guided tours and district photo-walks curated by makers from different fields to introduce new ways of experiencing our everyday environment and uncover the unique qualities of Hong Kong’s various districts.Read more

Our new Partner Merchant programme gathers discounts and special offers from 27 restaurants and stores, introducing all sorts of flavours and textures from 7 districts. Visit a set number of exhibitions and collect stamps at the venues to become a ‘Friend of HKIPF 2021’ and enjoy the exclusive benefits between 15 October and 30 November 2021.

Join us on a walk through stories from our local image makers, into memories of different communities, to encounter alternative versions of this place we call home, and cultivate new relationships from within.

步入第三屆的衛星展覽計劃，將繼續發揮以藝術創生場所，影像連結社區的精神。這屆衛星展覽影像創作者在前輩們的持續引領和支持下，交出自己的展覽。同時，我們透過公開招募合作夥伴，邀請他們在攝影節這個平台分享自己的展覽和公眾活動。

本次16個衛星展覽以及5個合作夥伴展覽的作品風格各有特色，你可在這個城市的不同角落裡，尋見影像創作者鏡頭下的科技文化、疫情影響、內在情感、身體思考，和城市及自然記憶。我們期待，透過作品與其所在空間的互動，藝術、人情和社區能產生更深厚的連結。

為進一步發掘散落城市不同角落的創意，我們特別設計多條散步路線，把社區特色、特選商戶與展覽空間串連在一起，觀眾可參考「衛星地圖」自由漫步，亦可報名參加由「地膽」帶路的影像行、不同領域的創作者製作的社區聲音導賞，以及展出藝術家親自介紹作品的導賞團。閱讀更多

藉著衛星展覽計劃，邀請大家走訪不為一般觀光客所知的社區角落，分享在地原味故事，蒐集城市記憶，遇見香港的另一面。
