Photography, by virtue of its visual nature, is an art form whose value is truly realised when it moves beyond art galleries and becomes accessible to all. Entering its fourth year, the Focus Photography Festival Mumbai (FPFM) celebrates this democratic nature of the medium by extending it onto the walls, shops, cafés and streets of Mumbai. Leading up to its biennial festival beginning in March with memory as the theme, FPFM in collaboration with Ministry Of New has organised a talk by Yasufumi Nakamori, PhD, curator and head of the Department of Photography and New Media, Minneapolis Institute of Art, USA.
