Showing at Gen.T Lister Greg McNamara's art space, McNamara Art Projects, in Wong Chuk Hang from March 3 to 16, Flower takes viewers on both a visual and introspective journey to explore one of the most prevalent and controversial subcultures of our time.

More than just a photography exhibition, Flower brings together a number of innovative and creative minds. Branded by Ariel Stark-Benz of Los Angeles lifestyle store Mister Green, the exhibition is a collaborative effort between the two and will introduce an exclusive tote bag made by streetwear label Chinatown Market. 

The opening of Flower will take place on March 3 from 6 pm until 9 pm, with catering by Yardbird and Sunday's Grocery, complemented by a drinks programme by Fernet Hunter. 

Flower will run from March 3-16 at McNamara Art Projects, 202, The Factory, 1 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang, mcnartprojects.com
