The Trans Asia Photography Review seeks articles and projects relating to the theme of Circulation for possible publication in our spring 2019 issue. We are interested in the ways that photographs have circulated to, from and within all regions of Asia. What have been the consequences of this circulation? How have historic platforms for the circulation of photographs (books, periodicals, exhibitions and catalogs, websites, collections, informal networks…) changed over time? How do the meanings of photographs shift when they circulate?
TIMELINE:
- Proposals are due October 9, 2018; proposals are then reviewed.
- Full articles from accepted proposals due Dec 15, 2018; articles are then sent out for peer review.
