Exposure+ Photo Festival 2023
We are delighted to announce the 20 artists that have been selected to exhibit their projects at EXPOSURE+ PHOTO 2023 in Kuala Lumpur from 21 September to 1 October. Our selectors met over 2 weekends in late April to decide on the 164 submissions received in our 2nd edition Open Call. We would like to thank all photographers who submitted their projects for your support. These 20 projects were determined as best representing the theme for this festival with compelling personal stories and strong accompanying visuals. We can't wait to announce the 20 projects once they have been finalised shortly.
