nineteensixtyeight photograpy

THE PROJECT

nineteensixtyeight is a curated platform dedicated to the discussion and dissemination of contemporary photography, an innovative space that transcends the static confines of a magazine or gallery, offering unique depth and dynamism in the presentation of collectible works.

The revolutionary year from which the name originates was emblematic of a world in flux, characterized by a palpable tension between destruction and creation, conflict and solidarity. Photography was setting global events in motion just as those events were in turn influencing the visual language of the times.

In the spirit of the era, nineteensixtyeight strives to bring contemporary and historical issues into focus through evocative combinations of image and text, challenging traditional conceptions of narrativity and acknowledging that while a picture may be worth a thousand words, the story a photograph tells is never singular.

Each section of the platform is distinctive in its approach to the material, featuring the work of artists and writers who are pushing the boundaries of established genres, and providing original insights into the works and their greater contexts.
