Based on the concept, LOVE is no difference from poor and rich, LOVE spreads everywhere, LOVE can rebuild the society,

but LOVE must give out first. The recruitment of photographs from the public started from March this year, and it proved a cultural democracy through this exchange dialogue between art and society.


A total of 25 entries of over 200 photos were collected from public. Together with two sets of artworks from the students of Community Revival photography Workshop II, the exhibition composes a good picturesque sense of I love community.


After Hong Kong handed over to Chinese Government, ordinary people of Hong Kong gradually lost their voices and autonomy. Hong Kong government focused on the short term economic direction and was lack of long term policy for preserving the local culture as well as the architecture groups. Every evening the patriotic propaganda TV calls Hong Kong people to love their country. Why not take an art action to show our love towards our communities, shut those slogans for a second.
