Lennon Wall Exhibition from Toronto to London
Capturing Memories, Connecting Hong Kongers in Two Cities
As the 10th anniversary of the Umbrella Movement approaches, a group of Hong Kong photographers will airlift their documentation of the Lennon Wall from 2019 to London for an exhibition on September 21st this year. Last year, they successfully held the first Lennon Wall photo exhibition in Toronto with over 1000 visitors, which garnered significant support. Toronto's Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik attended the event, expressing support and stating that the Lennon Wall is a collective memory for Hong Kongers, urging them to fight for human rights.
This year, as always, the exhibition will continue to raise funds for the "Bonham Tree Aid" bringing a glimmer of hope to those imprisoned. They plan to not only send the photos to London but also personally visit, hoping to "reunite" with Hong Kongers who have moved to the UK. Toronto and London are major destinations for Hong Kong emigrants. The simultaneous exhibitions in both cities aim to connect Hong Kong communities spread across the globe. On the opening day, a live broadcast will be arranged, allowing Hong Kongers in both locations to "Say Hi" and interact via live screens.
多倫多連儂牆展空降倫敦
記錄回憶連結兩地港人
雨傘運動十周年之際，一群港人攝影師將於今年9月21日把他們在2019年對連儂牆的記錄空運到倫敦展出。去年，他們成功在多倫多舉辦了首次連儂牆相片記錄展覽，吸引了超過1000人參與，去年多倫多副市長（Ausma Malik）也親臨現場表示支持，分享感受並說：連儂牆是香港人集體回憶，呼籲港人為人權奮鬥。
今年展覽一如既往繼續為「細葉榕人道支援基金」籌款，今年9月他們不僅將照片寄到倫敦，更計劃親自前往，盼望與移英港人「重聚」。 多倫多和倫敦都是港人移居的熱點，兩地同步的展覽旨在連接分散各地的港人社群，今年展覽開幕當日大會將安排實時現場連線，透過現場螢幕兩地港人便可直接"Say Hi"和交流。
