“The aim is education, understanding and togetherness through the premiere events that take place throughout OBSCURA.”
OBSCURA Festival is Malaysia’s premiere photography festival that celebrates photography from Asia and around the globe. Each year, the festival hosts a series of exhibitions, talks, workshops, professional portfolio reviews and slideshows. Also included are major fringe events, including youth photography programmes with its festival partners.
Now in its fourth year, the 2016 edition of OBSCURA will feature a variety of exciting and new additions to the festival’s already stellar lineup of events.
Held in world-famous UNESCO Heritage city George Town in Penang, Malaysia, all OBSCURA Festival exhibitions and events are within a walkable distance from one another, and most are free and open to the public. All members of the public and media are invited to come and be part of this enriching, thought- provoking experience while enjoying the best of food, culture and heritage that George Town has to offer.
OBSCURA Festival is embedded within and made possible thanks to the George Town Festival, a major international festival of the arts and culture in South East Asia.
