A Shock at Shek Kip Mei

Got a minor "cultural " shock at an exhibition called "Local Art and Culture Exhibition", held on various common spaces of the Jockey Club Creative Art Centre (JCCAC)  in Shek Kip Mei. It started on 3rd December and would end on 18th of this month. But I needed not wait till I got there and actually stand in front of the exhibits before I could start clicking my camera shutter for practice.
