Guerrilla Photography Exhibition held at Publika, Solaris from 5th to 20th April 2014

This is our 3rd edition of the Guerrilla Photography Exhibition (GPE)

GPE provides a platform for budding photographers to showcase their photos and get notice. What is unique about this platform is that this is a freestyle photography exhibition that is not curated. The photographers themselves curate their own exhibits. This is akin to visual freedom enjoyed by today’s generation.  This exhibition is been held over 2 weekends from 5th to 20th April with a changeover of exhibits every week. This year we have more than 50 photographers showcasing their works.

We intend to expand this concept to other states in Malaysia if there are enough support from our Sponsors, Media partners and participants.

Here are some of the pictures of the first session on the 5th of April. If you are interested to know more, why don’t you drop by at Publika, Solaris and find out for yourself. The Exhibition is from 5th to 20th April and is open from 10 am to 10 pm.
