来自中国, 欧洲和美国的四位艺术家, 他们各自代表不同类型的摄影种类 - 从建筑到人类学,街头摄影和社会报道 - , 分享他们对创造力和叙述能力的观点和经验, 讲述他们记录的城市和乡村环境中的社会。

艺术是否在使我们了解自己, 我们的社区和邻居, 承认人类状况, 以及最终在全球和本土阐述我们的问题的新观点方面发挥积极作用? 创造力如何影响社会; 它能否有效地刺激社会进化? 今年天津国际设计周的艺术家嘉宾在由 “人类空间” 摄影展策展人Alice Colantuoni的主持下, 展开公开对话, 分享其对这些问题的看法。

Four artists from China, Europe, and America, each practicing different genres of photography –from architecture to anthropology, street photography and social reportage–, share their views and experiences of the impact of creativity and story-telling on the communities they documented, both in urban and rural environments.

Does art play an active role in making us know ourselves, our communities and neighbors, in acknowledging the human condition, and finally, in elaborating new perspectives of our problems, globally and locally? How does creativity influence society; is it capable of effectively stimulating social evolution? This year’s artist guests of the TDW share their responses to these and other questions in an open conversation chaired by the curator of the exhibition Human Spaces, Alice Colantuoni.
