From Biennale Photo Hanoi:
As technology advances rapidly, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence, photography is continuously expanding its boundaries and intersecting with other art forms. Where, then, do we draw the line to define what is “photography”? What are the roles and meanings of photography today? Why does this redefinition matter in our current cultural and social context?
As part of the Photo Hanoi ’25 Roundtable Series, this event presents a structured conversation inviting participants to reflect on the future role of photography through the following themes: the growing crossover between photography and other art forms, redefining the core values of photographic practice in the age of AI, and the role of photography festivals in shaping the art ecosystem of a city or a country.
Session 1: The convergence of photography and other art forms
Speakers: Louis Mesplé, Beat Streuli, Flora Nguyen, Dang Thuy Anh
Session 2: Revisiting the core values of photographic practice in the age of AI
Speakers: Jean-Luc Fournier, Alain Astruc, Daphné Nan Le Sergent, Mai Nguyen Anh
Session 3: The role of photography festivals in the art ecosystem of a city or country
Speakers: Fanny Pagès, Philong Sovan, Sophie Robnard, Éline Gourgues, Nguyen The Son
We warmly invite photographers, designers, art students, young professionals seeking updated and high-quality knowledge, as well as the art and photography-loving community to join us. Together, let us exchange practical experiences and valuable lessons from real-world artistic practice.
Photo Hanoi is an international photography biennale, initiated and coordinated by the French Institute in Vietnam since 2021.
