PDFX12 Organization Exhibition

Curator: Yumi Goto,Wonder Wang

PDFX12

PDFX12 is an online, monthly photography photofolio that presents and features a series of photos by various photojournalists living and working in various communities around the world.

These photos tell poignant stories about people who are facing harsh social, economic, environmental and political conditions.

Photojournalists presented here are those, with their own resources and energy, who have chosen to dedicate their life's work to documenting certain human issues in order to bring about greater attention to harsh human conditions that many people would brush aside. It is thus very important that the voices of these photojournalists, who are living and working in communities that they are documenting, are heard through this type of online venue, which everyone can access.

Originally, we had thought of presenting this online magazine only to a Japanese audience, but now we have broadened it to a worldwide audience. The awareness of various human issues facing humanity is greatly needed in Japan, just as in other parts of the world. Published photos and text will be in English and Japanese. Presented will be high-quality photos with written stories shared by the photojournalists themselves.
