See You in Memories|Hong Kong Comics Experience Exhibition
回憶見|香港漫畫體驗展
Late last year, local comic artist Pen So (@penso) won the Silver Prize at the Japan International MANGA Award—dubbed the “Oscars of Manga”—for his comic anthology Memories Meet. Out of 503 entries from 77 countries and regions, Pen So's work stood out with its nostalgic portrayal of Hong Kong and its imaginative, fantastical storytelling. While the artwork seems to reflect on a bygone Hong Kong, the fantasy narrative subtly conveys the message that we shouldn’t cling too tightly to the past. Instead, by moving forward and accumulating history, we can create future collective memories.
On October 21, Pen So will host the Memories Meet exhibition, showcasing hand-drawn originals and video works from the anthology. The exhibition brings the story of the protagonists, internet singer Li Mei Yee and illustrator Cheung Pak Lok, from their surreal black-and-white world into the vibrant colors of reality.
Step Into a Comic Universe at the Exhibition
The ZtoryTeller Gallery will transform into the world of Memories Meet, allowing visitors to journey between reality and fantasy. Through hidden clues scattered throughout the venue, attendees will be guided to sound installations playing a comic audio drama. The drama’s conclusion, created and performed by radio host and lyricist Oscar Lee (@oscarlee), will bring the story to life.
On-Site Highlights: Hear the Story Finale and Per Se’s Latest Single
Oscar portrays Cheung Pak Lok, the male protagonist from Pen So's comic, in the audio drama sequel Memories Meet: The Aftermath. Meanwhile, the female protagonist Li Mei Yee is voiced by Sandy (@sandyminimal). The exhibition will also feature a curated playlist from local band Per Se (@persehk) and a hidden preview of their latest single, which visitors can discover and listen to.
Exclusive Reissue of the Comic Anthology
The highly anticipated reissue of Memories Meet will debut at the exhibition with a brand-new cover illustration and a mini-book titled Memories Meet: Outro. The mini-book serves as a prelude to the comic audio drama and includes a QR code for Oscar’s narrated version. It can be inserted into either the first edition or the reissue of the comic anthology. Entry to the exhibition is granted with the purchase of the mini-book.
去年年底,本地漫畫家 Pen So @penso 編繪的漫畫集《回憶見》,獲得被譽為「漫畫奧斯卡」的日本國際漫畫獎銀獎(Japan International MANGA Award),在77個國家及地區的503本參賽作品中,以香港的懷舊面貌和奇幻創意故事突圍而出。畫作似是在懷念幾年前的香港,但講述的奇幻故事其實在寄語我們不需太綣戀舊事,只要繼續前進累積歷史,製造未來的集體回憶。
Pen So 將在今月21日舉辦展覽《回憶見》,展出漫畫集的手繪原稿、影像作品,把書中主角網絡歌手李蜜兒和插畫師張伯樂的故事,從超現實的黑白美學世界帶到色彩鮮活的現實⋯⋯
