Every city has its own story to tell. In a vibrant and bustling city like Hong Kong, more stories are yet to be told. For Boogie Woogie Photography and PhotogStory, photography brought us together. Although we have different backgrounds, we share the same passion for photography and fondness for this city. We met several years ago at an Art Fair, and now we're thrilled to curate this exhibition: "My Hong Kong, 我城”, in Wong Chuk Hang.

"My Hong Kong, 我城”, comprises thirteen Hong Kong and international photographers' artworks about the city. On display are Raymond Cauchetier and James Chung's cityscapes from the 1950s as well as young talents' impressions of Hong Kong. These images not only present the city's past and present but also embrace the city's diversity through the photographers' eyes. We hope you enjoy the exhibition as we enjoy the city that we so much love.
