The Recovery, Resilience, Resurgence exhibition’s photos show Hong Kong during consecutive periods, as it was seen around the middle of the last century. The images span some thirty years of great change: from the postwar recovery in 1946 – 1947, through the resilience of the 1950s, to the resurgence of the 1960s – 1970s. The photos were taken by three photographers. In the order of their Hong Kong work they were: Hedda Morrison, Lee Fook Chee and Brian Brake. Each had markedly different life backgrounds and photographic objectives.

A sneak peek of this exhibition can be viewed via the virtual tour here. For members of Asia Society Hong Kong, you are invited to join the online conversation with Ed Stokes, exhibition curator and founder director at The Photographic Heritage Foundation, to know more about the photographic journey of these three showcased artists. You can also ask him any questions you have for him with regards to photography.
