Summit

How does photography become an art form within the museum system, leading to its collection, research, publication, and exhibition? How do curators in the art museums respond to the evolving landscape of contemporary culture through photography and engage with the public? What potential does photography hold as a medium for artistic creation and civic action?

The inaugural TIPF Summit focuses on the relationship between “photography,” “art,” and “democracy,” bringing together curators, researchers, and photographers from domestic and international art institutions. Through keynote speeches and discussions, it explores various aspects of photographic art’s essence and evolution, from institutional collection, curation, publication, artistic practice to public participation. The summit highlights its development process and contemporary significance across different cultural contexts.
