The highly anticipated "Jimei × Arles Discovery Award", co-initiated with Xiaohongshu Photography, and "Jimei × Arles Curatorial Award for Photography and Moving Image", established with luxury giant Chanel, will announce this year's winners during the opening week.
In addition to the award selections, the "Jimei × Arles Curatorial Award for Photography and Moving Image" will launch a public curatorial course, the "Curatorial Seminar", just before the festival begins. This program will include keynote speeches, group learning and on-site practice, paving new paths for nurturing emerging Chinese curators.
