Leaning In, Hearing Out: Conversations on Photographic Art

Leaning In, Hearing Out gathers together a plethora of perspectives from 14 practitioners – artists, curators, mediators – in order to better understand the past, present and future of the Finnish photographic art field. Part of the Association of Photographic Artists’ (VTL) collaborative project with seven arts organisations based in Finland, this book addresses the changes, challenges and resources in the field through a series of six interviews made between 2023 and 2024.
