“The Hungry Ghost Festival was very new to me. I love the strong cultural heritage in Hong Kong, and how festivals like this are respected and kept alive. These two police officers very much facilitated the safety of the crowd as traffic passed through the road, without interfering in the festivities or people’s enjoyment.”
Bren Meachen is a British artist and photographer from London, who has been visiting Hong Kong since 2018. He got his first disposable camera when he was six-years old by saving coupons from the back of breakfast cereal packets, and has been fascinated with cameras ever since. Meachen has a keen interest in telling stories, both real and imagined, and uses images to explore the stories he wants to tell. He is interested in how human psychology shapes the spaces we inhabit, and how the spaces we inhabit tell stories about the people who inhabit them. Bren is an active member of the art community in both London and Hong Kong, and has had his drawings exhibited in Central London. He draws comics, and has had a short comic appear in the Anthology Tall Tales, which was awarded ‘Book of the Festival’ by Broken Frontier at Thought Bubble 2024.
