About the ExhibitionThe 3rd Migrant Workers' Photography Festival: 'Longing and Belonging'While longing stretches far across distance to hold a place or person close, the threads of belonging instead tie one to where they already are. Like how these words are nested within each other, Longing and Belonging hopes to make space for different ways of looking at the conflicting yet intertwined desires for home, building a new life, and being rooted in a community.MWPF’s third edition received more than a hundred submissions across two categories: Single Image and Series (3-5 images). The exhibition will feature the following finalists’ works, selected by judges Huda Azzis (Founder, Your Local Newsstand) and Chelsea Chua (Programme Director, Objectifs):Indah W.

Through its associate programmes — workshops, photowalks, Community Diary — the festival hopes to build a diverse community that transcends nationalities, and help bridge the current social divide between the migrant and local community. The team behind the festival similarly reflects this ethos: MWPF comprises both locals and migrants from many different countries, who co-organise this initiative in the spirit of friendship, equality, and community.Presented by the Migrant Workers Photography Festival (MWPF), and supported by Objectifs and FotoHub.Updatestag:peatix.com,2024-03-11 11:44:282024-03-11 11:44:28The event description was updated.
