.tiff talks 2023: speed tours & talks

Book

Every year, FOMU selects ten promising artists and photographers with a Belgian connection. On Friday 6 October, we invite the ten artists of .tiff 2023 for .tiff talks. During this evening, they will elaborate on their own work and themes that the new generation of photographers is dealing with, among others.

Discover the artists' stories during three speed tours in the .tiff 2023 - Emerging Belgian Photography expo. During these short tours, you will get to know the artist and his, her or their work . Together, you will zoom in on one work per artist, focusing on a slower and more conscious way of looking and discovering deeper layers in an artwork.

We also invite you to take part in short conversations in which various contemporary topics are discussed, such as the context of images, emerging talents and the importance of social media for artists. These conversations will take place in the entrance hall.

From 23h, DJ set by .tiff DJs Brahim Tall & Luna Mahoux.


.tiff 2023 presents the work of Kwabena Sekyi Appiah-Nti, Emilio Azevedo, Eva Maria Bouillon, Luna Mahoux, Fabrice Schneider, Sarah Stone, Brahim Tall, Kristof Thomas, Oxiea Villamonte and Yao Yuan.
