In conjunction with Fujikina, Fujifilm is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Fujifilm’s X-Mount technology. In honor of this milestone, and in demonstrating Fujifilm’s commitment to storytelling, Fujikina will celebrate with a special project showcasing imagery and stories from “10 remarkable women image-makers —all with diverse backgrounds and skill sets. These artists were hand-picked to each envision a project and received funding, technical support and guidance from Fujifilm along the way to bring those projects to life. Subjects range from a post-climate-apocalypse tale of seeking beauty amidst hardship, to an exploration of rites of passage and coming-of-age stories, to an adventure-driven piece on women rock climbers over 40, and more,” according to Fujifilm.
Fujikina 2022 will be free and open to the public. Guests are required to register and book a time slot to attend the event, as well as reserve space in a workshop, photowalk or touch and try session. they wish to attend. To learn more, visit the event site here.
