'Dominion Road: Stories of the shifting urbanscape' is a photographic exhibition by King Tong Ho that reveals the multicultural stories tied to Dominion Road.

King Tong Ho’s exhibition, which opens on Tuesday 7 August, takes an insiders look into Dominion Road by photographing the interiors of businesses and recording the stories of business owners.

This solo exhibition is a continuation from a photographic series documenting Dominion Road that started in 2011. King Tong Ho now focuses on the Dominion Road locals to reveal the stories behind the ‘urbanscape’.

Accompanying the photographs are transcripts of the uncovering the stories of the locals that live and work on Dominion Road both visually and verbally.

Through this project, King Tong Ho, as a migrant, found a way to connect to the Auckland community.

“Capturing memories of their daily life directed me to find the cultural root of my second home. Thus, my photographs are another form of cultural inheritance. To the Chinese, inheritance has the commitment to carry on to the future,” says photographer King Tong Ho.

As a form of inheritance, King Tong Ho intends to gift the photographs back to locals who participated in the exhibition.

Join King Tong Ho and guest artists who live and work on Dominion Road as they discuss the significance of this road in their art, on Saturday 11 August, 1-2pm. The guest artists are, ceramic artist Peter Lange, mural artist Simon Stockley and John Schroeder from the Digital Darkroom.

King Tong Ho was a professional photographer in Hong Kong and is currently a senior lecturer at AUT University.
