In 2022, JIPFest introduced Indonesia Photo Fair, a marketplace for photography works. The Fair returns this year, between 8-20 September 2023 at Creative Hall, M Bloc Space.
We invite photo practitioners – including photographers, collectives, organizations, and photo book publishers – to participate and expand their networks as well as market their works in the form of photo prints and books. Submitted works will be curated by Windi Salomo, Artistic Director of Indonesia Photo Fair.
As the host, JIPFest will provide the physical marketplace, ground crew, logistics, and payment system. Participants are encouraged to actively work alongside the festival to market their works to the public.
