Talented and well-received Hong Kong-based photographer Laura Simonsen debuts her newest project in this solo exhibition titled, ‘Why Not Here?’ The question refers to the subject of the series- the fact that same-sex couples are denied the right to marry in Hong Kong. Simonsen’s work makes the statement that marriage equality is a human right and there is no reason it should be denied to the LGBT+ community. Featuring portraits of same-sex couples and families of those married abroad but not recognised locally, these photos are sure to have us all asking, “Why not here?” Event Sponsors: HSBC ANZ Australia @treacleltd @pinkseasonhk 粉紅天 Peroni Nastro Azzurro Paul Gerrard Salon 才華橫溢的著名本港攝影師Laura Simonsen “為何這裏不可以?” 個人影展中首次亮相,展出其最新作品。 通過這個系列影展,探討同性伴侶在香港沒有結婚的權利的問題。 Simonsen的作品表達了婚姻平等是一種人權,而LGBT+(不同性傾向及性別身分人士)沒有理由被剝奪這種權利。 這次展品相片的相中人,是一些在海外結婚但在本地不獲承認的同性伴侶及家庭,必定會令所有人發出"為何這裏不行?"的疑問。由匯豐銀行贊助 #WhyNotHere @plugmagazine @laura_s_photos @rachwedlock #lgbt #lapwedsrach #hongkong (at The Barbers Basement)
