The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents the exhibition "Home Away From Home: A Thank You Letter to Hong Kong" The exhibits show seven decades of the diasporic Korean community as people put down roots, exchange and thrive in Hong Kong, gradually making it a home, a thousand miles from home. 

The exhibits include the founding documents of the Korean Residents Association, signed by a few dozen Hong Kong Korean residents in 1948, and a document commemorating Korea's very first participation in the Olympic Games where the players briefly sojourned in Hong Kong to complete their trip to London. Other curated photographs and resources from the Korean Residents Association archives illustrate a rich history of growth and exchange. 

In addition to the exhibits, video interviews with early-generation Korean residents in Hong Kong as well as talks will be released and held shortly after the opening of the exhibition.

The exhibition is presented by the Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong, in partnership with the Korean Residents Association, who provided the valuable photographic records from their archives and members. Through this exhibition, the Korean Cultural Center hopes to foster further mutual understanding between the societies of Hong Kong and Korea, and provide a meaningful opportunity to look back to our meaningful history as communities.
