This is a local visit arranged by the RASHK to this exhibition hosted by Sino Group and led by Edward Stokes.

Details (from Sino Group)

Sino Group, together with Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation, and supported by the Consulate General of the Republic of Singapore in Hong Kong, jointly present the exhibition Photographs from the 1950s: Marjorie Doggett’s Singapore, Lee Fook Chee’s Hong Kong, curated by The Photographic Heritage Foundation.

The exhibition presents works by Marjorie Doggett, a pioneer female photographer who captured the cityscapes and buildings of Singapore with photos taken between 1954-1957, and works from Lee Fook Chee, a self-taught photographer who focused on streetscapes of Hong Kong during the same period. This ‘time capsule’ exhibition aims to showcase the parallel timeline of 1950s in Hong Kong and Singapore, and the rich shared history between the two cities.
