Project Basho's Onward Summit and Compe opening 2/11/12


ONWARD Summit is an annual photography conference and networking event for those who are inspired by unique imagery and perspectives. The event is hosted by Project Basho and the daily programming will take place at the Crane Old School space in the Old Kensington section of Philadelphia.

Coinciding with the opening reception of the ONWARD Compé exhibition, this one-night event will bring engaging presentations by established and emerging artists and an intimate party to share current projects and portfolios with the fellow members of the photography community. This format will actively promote the intersection of visual influences and dialogue, which is the foundation of this distinctive event. Photographers Todd Hido and Hiroh Kikai will give keynote addresses and other discussions include a talk between photographer Zoe Strauss and curator Peter Barberie about the mid-career retrospective Zoe Strauss: Ten Years at the Philadelphia Art Museum. 57 photographs from 50 photographers will be on exhibit as part of Compé at the Project Basho gallery. Tickets are still available for the summit at Crane Old School on Project Basho's site.
