Photo exhibition reveals Hong Kong protest movement

Gallery We.AN near Hongik University is holding a

photo exhibition

this weekend to spread understanding about Hong Kong's ongoing protest movement.

The movement started on March 15, triggered by a proposed extradition bill which protesters feared would have placed Hong Kong residents and visitors under mainland China's legal jurisdiction, undermining regional autonomy and civil liberties. The bill has since been rescinded, but the protest has continued, now focusing more on democratic freedom and police accountability.

The exhibition is open Friday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Visit
