Month of Photography Asia (also known as MOPA and MOPAsia) is an international festival of photography organised in Singapore since 2002. The festival serves as a platform to promote photography both as an art form and as a creative industry. Each year, Month of Photography Asia is curated along a specific theme and presents works by international and Singaporean photographers in relation to the year’s theme. The theme for 2011 was ''Memory''. The festival's main line-up of exhibitions is complemented by both public programmes (which include round tables, master classes, talks, portfolio reviews, screenings, tours and workshops) and in conjunction events. == History == The festival was first established in 2002 as the Month of Photography in Singapore, on a joint initiative by the Alliance Française de Singapour and the National Arts Council. It was inaugurated in presence of Jean-Luc Monterosso, director of the European House of Photography (Maison Européenne de la Photographie, MEP). Phish Communications was brought in by the Alliance Française to manage the 2003 edition of the festival, called "A Journey towards month of Photography 2004", as it was intended as a bridge to the larger festival edition planned for the next year. Phish Communications managed it again in 2004, before becoming the full-fledged festival organiser in 2006. In 2007, the festival took the name of Month of Photography Asia (known as MOPA or MOPAsia), thus acknowledging its role as a regional platform in Asia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Month of Photography Asia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
