Kyotographie 2021 – Echo – 9ème édition

18 septembre – 17 octobre 2021

In 2021, we experienced the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, this coincides with the 10th year since the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, and the Fukushima nuclear disaster. These events culminated with our own unique circumstance and created distinctive echos. With our present assembled from fragments both understood and imposed, the past decade has been a learning experience for the individual and the human species. Considering life and memory mirror each other, photography becomes the expression that ulti- mately Echo’s our times. For the 9th edition we invite artists using a variety of mediums to share their intimate reflection. They reveal the echoes that drove and moved them. We hope sharing these creations and remembering the story around them will pay tribute to the dignity of those represented and keep us believing in the the power of Humanity.
