In honor of the Asian American Heritage month of May, Asia Photo Review has partnered with Nous Tous Gallery to bring you Dépaysement. An exhibition starting on May 19th and lasting until the end of the month.
Dépaysement, a french word meaning the feeling one gets from not being in one’s own country, of being a foreigner. The work being submitted should present the exhibitions theme of identity and culture. What it’s like to grow up on the border of two cultures, hearing about a home most have never been to or being a foreigner to a country.
You do not need to be Asian or Asian American to submit to the exhibition. You can be of any race or ethnicity to submit. The project simply needs to have been done on the continent of Asia, the associated Islands, or about an Asian community abroad. The main idea of this exhibition is an exploration of identity and culture, whether it’s your own or one you’re hoping to understand.
We are currently taking submissions for a two week long exhibition at Nous Tous Gallery, located in Los Angeles’ Historic Chinatown. The beginning of the exhibition will start with a special opening night event.
Please see the form below to submit your work. Be sure to submit your work in the following format: 8 inches by 12 inches (20.32 centimeters by 30.48 centimeters) at 300 pixels per inches.
