DIPE up to international standard

From South Asia to Southeast Asia of modern times, from the former Soviet Union to China of the last century, from the natural and cultural landscapes of America, Europe and Latin America to the social status and lifestyles of Korea and Northern Ireland... the variously themed photographs deeply touched people’s hearts.

On August 6, 2015, the Sixth Dali International Photograph Exhibition (DIPE) kicked off. This year, in addition to Photograph Exhibition and Gallery Exposition, the Photographic Equipment Exhibition and DIPE Roundtable (DIPE Forum Between Photography Festival Chairmen and Artistic Institutes from South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and the US) were also introduced, and this innovative model was referred to as the “3+1” model. The number of photographic exhibitions was increased from 150 last year to 300 this year. Among them, there were 150 international exhibitions .

Jeffrey Moorfoot, director of the Australia Ballarat International Foto Biennale (BIFB), said that photographic exhibitions help to motivate more people to learn about and appreciate photography, and since photography has different characteristics in different countries, photographers should learn from each other.

Gwen Lee, president of the Singapore International Photography Festival, said at the DIPE Roundtable: “I hope the DIPE Roundtable will promote the photographic culture in China as well as South and Southeast Asian countries, facilitate the photographic interconnectivity in the Asia and deepen photographic exchanges and cooperation between Asia and other areas. At the same time, I hope this platform can promote photography and get more young people to understand and love photography.”
