Set out to bring together LGBTQ+ image makers and facilitate the development of their practices, and to carve space for expressions of the LGBTQ+ community, the exhibition is an outcome of Photography as Witness, Memory, Activism, and Recognition photography workshop led by New York based photographer, video artist, and educator TSE Ka-Man from 2019 to 2020 for nine emerging LGBTQ+ image makers in Hong Kong. Amidst the ongoing challenges in Hong Kong since 2019, Tse stresses the importance of a queer sensibility, of using queer aesthetic practices as a tool to reframe our thinking and to resist erasure.
「嘯傲之相：酷兒之影像習作」是「見證、記憶、行動、認同— 給香港彩虹族群之影像工作坊」的成果展。工作坊由居於紐約的攝影師、錄像藝術家及教育家謝嘉敏帶領，在2019至2020年期間進行，旨在連結有志於影像創作的LGBTQ+朋友引導他們發展個人藝術實踐，同時為不同的性別身分認同創作者開拓表達空間。面對由2019年開始香港的眾多嚴酷挑戰，謝嘉敏認為更需要帶出酷兒感受性（queer sensibility）之重要，由此倡議藉酷兒美學實踐作為啟發思考與抵抗之工具。
