Hong Kong International Photo Festival at Pao Galleries


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Hong Kong International Photo Festival (HKIPF) is returning from 8 November to 8 December 2024, with the flagship exhibition Mega Family: Imagining Home at the Hong Kong Arts Centre. Co-curated by Blues Wong and Carol Chow, the exhibition echoes the Festival’s earlier explorations of the theme of “home” in exhibitions 300 Families in 2013 and 1000 Families in 2016. Sponsored by FUJIFILM HK, Mega Family: Imagining Homeinvites 15 local photographers from different generations to showcase their works about Hong Kong since 2020, reflecting on the redefinition of home and family in the post-pandemic era and serving as a visual documentation of the social changes experienced under the new normality. 

Unlike previous years, which featured satellite exhibitions and collaborations with overseas artists, this year’s HKIPF focuses on local culture through this single thematic exhibition. Mega Family: Imagining Home aims to explore the evolving physical, cultural, and even mental landscapes in post-pandemic Hong Kong, examining how the meaning of “home” and “family” shifts with changes in the environment amidst a dynamic social backdrop.

Venue address: 4-5/F, Pao Galleries, Hong Kong Arts Centre, 2 Harbour Road, Wan Chai
