After a successful inaugural event in May 2017, the symposium is now planning our second instalment for the photo community in Malaysia and the region at the KL Journal. For 2018, it will be running a similar format, on the theme “Photography as a Medium for Social Change”. The organizers hope to look at a wide range of social change projects, from the high profile stories like the Rohingya issue, refugees, trafficking, to more ‘closer to home’ stories like domestic abuse, ageing, transgender and LGBT issues, addiction, family matters, self-identities and also including environmental issues like illegal logging, water and air pollution, recycling and the green culture, , politics, indigenous population, and more. Specialist speakers will share their personal experiences and highlight recent related projects and campaigns. For speaker profiles, schedule, and more please visit photosymposiumasia.wordpress.com.
