BlowUp Angkor is an outdoor photographic intervention by Blindboys.org which runs along side the 10th Angkor Photo Festival & Workshops. BlowUp brings exhibitions and projections to the street of Siem-Reap Cambodia. Spread over the city the exhibitions explores the intersection between the street and photography.
Combining photo exhibitions, outdoor photo installations, talks, and night-time multimedia projections, BlowUp welcomes an democratic audience to photography in unconventional venues. Immersion and interactivity are at the heart of what makes BlowUp.
By creating a physical platform for photographers of all stripes to come together and interact, BlowUp provides a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse audience – both visitors to the Angkor Photo Festival as well as the people of Siem Reap.
This year is very special for us since we turn FIVE and the Angkor Photo Festival turns TEN! We are super excited and hope for no shortage of things to do and see — we’re talking 35 exhibitions and street installations, photo booths , projections, and 3 nighttime show and tells.
BLOWUp Angkor opens its gates on Saturday, November 29 and runs through to December 6 in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Their projections & exhibitions are selected from a call for submissions; requesting community of photographers across the globe to share their work with the people of Cambodia.
