Time: 9.21 (Sun) 14:00-16:00Venue: C-LAB Art Space IIIRegistration: Free event. Entry with TIPF exhibition ticket and registration (opens 8.27). In the current artistic and cultural environment with limited resources and an uncertain future, how should young photographic creators navigate their path forward? What should they do to go a long way? This talk invites Yi-Cheng Sun, the curator of the exhibition After the Award: New Wave Photography Award, and five emerging photographic creators who were recipients of the award, Xhin Toh, Deng Pu, Yi-Ling Jong, Che-Hsi Kuo, and Tzu-Yun Lien, to discuss how creators navigate the impact of awards and exhibitions in reality while finding their own artistic paths. The talk is both an exchange of experiences in photographic creation and an honest conversation between local creators about their future paths. From the artistic environment, award, and publishing to the exhibition, the five emerging creators will share their observations and reflections from their artistic journeys. They will also discuss how collaborating with the curator led them to rethink the relationships among their works, the space, and the viewers. Besides the talk, the New Wave Photography Award 2024: The Key Set will be available for purchase on-site, which includes the fifteen winning series from the first New Wave Photography Award. We warmly invite you to join us and experience the distinct charms of print reading and the exhibition space. ▌Speakers ｜Xhin TohXhin Toh is from Johor, Malaysia, and is currently based in Taipei.
