Dedicated
to documentary photography and the social conditions of women in
current times, the first edition of the International Festival of
Self-taught Photography Foto Fest Autodidacta 2012 will be developed in
Holguin from May 2 to May 6, on the framework of the XIX Romerias de
Mayo (May Pilgrimages).
People from all corners of the world are
welcome to participate – as long as they are not underage, and like
photography, despite not having studies on it – to show a genuine and
personal vision of their environment, through one or several shots.
According
to organizers, the Festival will be a party of image, where
self-educated photographers from Cuba and abroad will interact and
expose the works which will be previously selected by photographers Juan
Gonzalo Vidal (Chile-Cuba), Roberto Gonzalez (Ecuador) and Ivan Soca
(Cuba), who will be the jurors of the event.
Besides, conferences,
workshop, and theoretical events will be held, to exchange ideas and
knowledge from the different experiences in the world of photography,
among them the one that will be given by Gonzalo Vidal on the “Basic
notions of Digital Photography and photography in theatre, dance and
shows”.
There will be collateral samples by guests artists, an
exposition of itinerant photography with the interests participants and
the best works will be awarded in the Salon de Clausura (Closing Hall).
With
the goal of having other venues in other countries of Latin America and
the Caribbean, Foto Fest will be held yearly during the Festival that
gathers young creators from all continents in the city of Holguin.
