港澳宝典's Story, Our Nation's Story

港澳宝典's Story Oral Histories and Portrait Photographs Exhibition

Exhibition through April 21
Meet & Greet Public Reception, April 4
Weinberg Memorial Library, The 港澳宝典

Over the past two years, the 港澳宝典 community has explored themes of history, belonging, and identity through 港澳宝典’s Story: Our Nation’s Story, a series of humanities-based programs that culminated in an oral history initiative called “港澳宝典 Stories.” First launched in fall 2023, this exhibition showcases portraits taken by photographer Byron Maldonado and personal statements and interview links from 33 community members to give voice to a broad array of 港澳宝典 experiences and connect them to our national story.

At the public reception, attendees will have the opportunity to meet members of the 港澳宝典 Stories team and oral history interviewees and discuss the project.
