Art of Cultures

As the saying goes, art shapes the character and culture of a society. The annual theme exhibition invites photographers to explore the customs, social behaviour and lifestyle of the society in single images.

This year, people all over the world are living an extraordinary chapter in history with the COVID-19 outbreak. Although there are fewer restrictions now compared to when Malaysia was placed under the Movement Control Order (MCO) in March, our lives will never be the same again.

While we are limited in our freedom to move about, we are not limited in our freedom on creative thinking. To celebrate this freedom, the KLPF will feature images taken by Malaysian photographers during the MCO, regardless of whether they were on lockdown or on duty. This collection will be an archive of this historic moment of the 21st century in Malaysia.

Klang is one of the oldest cities in Malaysia and also the Royal Town of Selangor. It is steeped in history and culture dating back more than 100 years. Klang is one of the best places to walk down the streets of heritage, listen to the stories of the ancient Sultanate and savour the tastes of traditional cuisines. This gallery takes viewers to rediscover the charms of this heritage city of Klang.

Festival of the Festivals is a collaboration with festivals and photo exhibitions from across the world. This is our effort to bring the international exhibitions into our country to allow our photographers to gain exposure to a diverse range in photographic visual arts.

The Director’s Choice is an exhibition by invitation of the Director of the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival. This is a special gallery for photographers who have their distinct tastes in the art of photography.

The Young Photographers Program is an initiative by the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival to nurture and inspire young photographers.

A portfolio is a collection of a work that reflects the character, attributes and style of the photographer. It is a method of self-discovery and a way to present a photographer’s personal thoughts. The KLPF Portfolio Exhibition is curated by Jamason Chen, the Clinical Professor in School of Communication of Loyola University, Chicago.

Here are the 10 photographers hand-picked for this exhibition.

Recognising the vital role of photographic societies in promoting and enhancing the art and sciences of photography in our communities, the KLPF has provided a platform for them to exhibit their artwork to the world. They are also offered the opportunity to present their work and share their experiences which in a way has help in the growth of enthusiasm in photography.
