Japan is a country that is rich in history, culture and nature. Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is the international podium where old and new culture and technology meet and create inspirations. Today, we are living in the world that photography has become more popular than ever. Being in such city in such time, Tokyo International Photography Festival (TIPF) aims to provide a unique opportunity to think on “the new role of photography”.
The main venue of TIPF is ART FACTORY JONANJIMA. Located on the opposite bank of Haneda International Airport, the gigantic art exhibition space is a very special venue that has recently opened in the factory district, welcoming visitors full of surprise that there is actually an art space in such an area.
Under the theme “FOCUS ON THE FUTURE“, there will be photography exhibitions by both internationally renowned and emerging photographers as well as workshops, portfolio reviews, and symposiums.
As the Olympics are approaching, Tokyo is the midst of big and rapid change. Before the dynamics brought to Tokyo, TIPF will grow and expand every year towards 2020. We welcome you all to our first edition of TIPF that becomes the prologue.
