FotomotoPH is a photography collective that organizes the largest festival of Philippine photography to date. The group’s objective is to promote Philippine photography as a manifestation of our shared experience as a nation, including diversity in perspectives from different geographies, socio-economic status, genders and ages. Through exhibitions and a programming of educational activities, FotomotoPH aims to foster conversations about photography’s role in our culture and demonstrate ways in which the photographic medium as an art form can expresses our complex identities. The collectives’ founding members are: Raena Abella, Jes Aznar, E.S.L. Chen, Tom Epperson, Stephanie Frondoso, Francisco Guerrero, Wawi Navarroza, Apa Ongpin, Neal Oshima, Gio Panlilio, Sandra Palomar, Jason Quibilan and Veejay Villafranca. FotomotoPH in collaboration with Orange Project returns to Bacolod after its successful run last year of its inaugural season “Fotomoto: Portraits.” The season originates in Metro Manila and travels to different regions during its annual cycle. Now on its second year, FotomotoPH launched “Fotomoto22: Home” with an open call throughout the Philippines and the diaspora. Participants approached the theme of “Home” in response to the collective experience of having emerged from the past few years with new perspectives on our homes, due to prolonged isolation, working and studying from home, migration, displacement, the loss of one’s home or finding a new one. The sense of home, while tied to places, may also be as abstract as a feeling, relationship, or ritual. The FotomotoPH jury welcomed all cultural, historical, socio-political, and personal narratives captured through the various genres of photo-based works. In addition to Orange Project, the exhibit is also installed at 3 additional venues within the Bacolod Art District: The White Space Gallery, Block 17 Art Space, and The Open Space. Our multi-venue shows will feature the complete collection of “Fotomoto: Home”, with new work as special exhibitions of Negros-based photographers Aeson Baldevia, Faye Abantao, Frelan Gonzaga x E.S.L Chen and John Kimwell Laluma.
