India Photo Now’08

Jean-Christophe Blaser, Associate Curator at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne visited India to participate in the INDIA PHOTO NOW’08. [dated January 2008]

Organised by the Embassy of France, INDIA PHOTO NOW'08 will act as a platform to encourage new initiatives in photography. Born from the collaboration of various Indian and European partners, this large-scale series of events is scheduled to be held throughout the year 2008.

IPN’08 will promote debate and exchange, create a basis for appraising heritage issues through the use of public space, initiate and sustain publishing endeavours through a series of events such as exhibitions, installations, meetings and seminars, workshops, residence programmes and more.

The series of dialogues on photography will start with a two-day seminar in which well-known speakers from France, India, Switzerland and other countries will speak about the various issues related to photography such as curating, publishing and reviewing.

Jean-Christophe Blaser, Associate Curator at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne is visiting India in January 2008 to participate in the round table on 'A new place for photography in Indian culture & society ?' which will be held on January 28 & 29 at the India International Centre. The IPN'08 platform is based on a concept by independent photographer Alain Willaume.
