‘Homeward Bound’ themed photo fest to begin on Feb 23

The third edition of the JaipurPhoto festival takes inspiration from the classic 1966 song ‘Homeward Bound’, highlighting the importance and idea of home in a person’s life.

Organised by Orange Cat Productions in collaboration with Department of Tourism, Rajasthan Government, the festival will begin on February 23 at Jawahar Kala Kendra here.

JaipurPhoto is an international open-air photography festival held every February in the Pink City and offers a curated selection of photography exhibitions staged at various public locations across Jaipur.

“This year, both the title and theme of JaipurPhoto take their inspiration from the classic 1966 song ‘Homeward Bound’ by Simon & Garfunkel,” the organisers said.

Simon and Garfunkel was an American folk rock duo consisting of singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel.

“I am very excited to be here again at JaipurPhoto 2018. There is growing awareness that photography is an art practice because it often aspires to an aesthetic engagement with the viewers,” said UK-based artist and writer Aaron Schuman.

“JaipurPhoto offers a unique opportunity to hear and interact with some of the finest and most influential minds thinking about photography. For any photo enthusiast, it is an unmissable event,” Schuman said. PTI
