TAP Relaunch
On Thursday, May 26th, 2022, we celebrated Trans Asia Photography (TAP) and its contributions to the field of Asian photography.
Leading experts, curators, and photographers and over 100 attendees participated in the virtual relaunch of Trans Asia Photography, the world’s first and only open access journal devoted to research on Asian photography. Established more than a decade ago, the journal moved its base to Toronto and relaunched this year with a new publisher, Duke UP, and new editors, Thy Phu, Deepali Dewan, and Yi Gu. This event previewed the upcoming themed issue on “Photography,” examining the third title keyword, and explored what is at stake in thinking “Asia” and “Photography” together.
This relaunch also featured board members, Rahaab Allana, Nadine Attewell, Geoffrey Batchen, Sabeena Gadihoke, Tao Leigh Goffe, Kajri Jain, Will Kwan, Tong Lam, Christopher Pinney, Atsuko Sakaki, Stephen Sheehi, Laura Wexler, and Wu Hung.
