Beyond Japan: Indonesia Photo Fair 

We are thrilled to announce our participation in the Indonesia Photo Fair, marking our debut at this international photography event—from Tokyo to Jakarta! While we won't be attending in person, five of our collective titles will be featured at their Photo Market, showcasing works by international photographers, including several Indonesians. 

Join us in exploring the fair from September 5th to 8th. Keep an eye out for exclusive interviews by our contributing writer Anil Purohit with fair director Cristian Rahadiansyah and photographer Vandy Rizaldi, along with other exciting highlights coming soon to our Journal!

Happening Happenstance

THE SHOW
Our latest show in collaboration with NOICE Magazine and Colin Czerwinski was successful—huge thanks to all those who made it possible! Take a peek at some of the photos when you scroll down this page.

THE BOOK
Our newest collective photo book, designed by Federico Zavatta of Contrast/Design, features 132 candid, clever, and comic photographs from international artists. Available via our online shop.

Note: Due to the typhoon in Japan, all international orders will be delayed.

Coming Soon: Open Call #6

Get your black-and-white photographs ready! We’re gearing up for our next Open Call, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. We’re excited to announce that we’ll have four talented Guest Curators, updated submission guidelines, special awards, and more surprises in store. Stay tuned for all the details!

Photo Prompts

In the meantime, we've recently launched an Instagram initiative to gather, share, and feature stunning photographs that align with our themes. The chance to participate is ephemeral—our Photo Prompts are shared through Stories and are available for just 24 hours. Additionally, our contributor Tiange Xiang selects his top 5 and showcases them as Reels. We encourage you to join, as it's a great exercise for revisiting your archives and discovering other talented photographers.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Anne Murayama
Curator/Editor
