Part, Present and Future Exhibition in the Royal Air Force Museum
The oral history illustration project I did for residents is now on display at the RAF Museum!
The exhibition date: 04/2025 to ???
My paintings are exhibited in London! This is the Resident memoirs & oral history project. In addition to the first impression of my paintings, I’m also helping to illustrate residents’ memoirs & oral histories, which is very meaningful!
我為居民所做的口述歷史插圖專案，現正在 The Royal Air Force Museum皇家空軍博物館展出，應該是第一位香港人有份在那裡展出吧！其實這個只是機緣巧合！初來英國，我什麼也不懂，也沒有朋友，於是就去社區中心報讀興趣班、結織本地人並練習英語。玩了一段時間，中心主任便問我有沒有興趣做義工，其中就參加了這個居民口述歷史專案了。大約半年時間包括參觀不同的博物館如何藏展、如何搜集資料、分組研究、與組員溝通等等，而我便將居民部份故事畫成插畫。
上年5月，我們的成品便於社區中心的特展中展出，然後大概是皇家空軍博物館看中這個聯繫，今年便移師在館中繼續展出，這些全是無心插柳。我亦沒想過這個小展，可以走到這麼遠。在英國做義工，除了可以融入當地社區、練習英文外，隨時機遇處處！

This is my artwork: My first impression of London
I moved to London in autumn 2022. It was cloudy and windy back then. I saw the leaves on the trees turn yellow, and animals like squirrels got bigger for the winter ahead. I went to the RAF museum nearby to learn more about this area. Apart from the amazing planes on display inside, it is amazing to learn how the Grahame-White Aviation Company shaped our streets and the community today.
I helped Amanda Epe draw the illustration.
Her article was about Flying First: Amy Johnson. Amy Johnson’s stories inspired her to write a poem.
I helped Linda Baker draw the illustration.
Her article was about her memories of the concourse. She used to open a shoe shop there in the 70s. But sadly, the lack of passing trade and the recession of the 80s forced her to give up.
