On this occasion, Mohamed Somji, Director of Gulf Photo Plus said: “Slidefest offers a platform for photographers to share work in an informal setting with an aim to inspire and engage its audience.
The prize attracted more than 3000 participants – an indication of the interest in and enthusiasm for photography in the Kingdom. Photography Jameel was launched in 2017 to build on the momentum of the Art Jameel Photography Award (AJPA) that ran between 20. We’re delighted to be partnering with Gulf Photo Plus to bring Slidefest to Saudi - this is a real celebration of the art of photography, plus an opportunity for audiences to access expertise, hear stories and be inspired.” With the aim of nurturing the grassroots movement in Saudi Arabia, the programmes provide opportunities for photographers and artists to share experiences and techniques, plus access to expertise and networks.Īntonia Carver, Director of Art Jameel, commented, “Photography Jameel’s autumn 2018 programme includes events across Saudi Arabia, including skills development workshops with Waleed Marhoum in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Khobar, plus the debut of GPP Slidefest, in Jeddah.
Photography Jameel focusses on year-round learning and community development with workshops, portfolio reviews, talks and more. With the aim of offering photographers, from budding to more established, to showcase recent projects to an engaged audience, share ideas, and hopefully spark future projects from audience members, GPP Slidefest features celebrated photographers Tasneem Alsultan, Nasreen Shaikh, Jamal Al Lail, Moath Alofi and Saad Tahaitah from Saudi Arabia, and Ammar Al Attar from United Arab Emirates. The evening event, part of Photography Jameel’s autumn programme, features six regional photographers presenting recent projects followed by feedback and discussion with the audience. The evening is held in partnership with Gulf Photo Plus (GPP), the renowned photographic organisation based in Dubai, UAE.
