View the festival’s digital platform and the Visions From The World Exhibition. Who is telling the story? This seemingly obvious question has been the basis and the foundation of all the work done with the Photo Vogue Festival: from celebrating the female gaze in fashion photography, to highlighting diversity behind and in front of the camera, to rethinking masculinity, PVF has always tried to challenge the danger of single, monolithic stories, and to push a multiplicity of points of view. For its 6th edition, titled REFRAMING HISTORY, they want to explore the projects that have reclaimed an alternative, different way of telling a tale. Curated a video for exhibition during the Photo Vogue Festival on behalf of Native Agency that highlighted work from all 83 photographers represented by the organization. Photo by Lee-Ann Olwage.

Both themes, territory and environment, were taken to infinite interpretations. Managed edits of texts and curation of visual narratives. Photo by Gulshan Khan.
