Prix Pictet "HUMAN" at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is pleased to announce it will host Prix Pictet Human, the latest exhibition from the world’s leading award for photography and sustainability, in cooperation with Pictet Group and the Goethe-Institut Thailand.Founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group with the goal of harnessing the power of photography to draw attention to the critical issue of global sustainability. To date, there have been ten cycles of the award, each with its own theme highlighting a particular facet of sustainability. This will be the first time Prix Pictet has been exhibited in Thailand.

The current cycle, Prix Pictet Human, showcases the work of twelve outstanding photographers shortlisted for the tenth cycle of the award. Their work constitutes a powerful exploration of the various facets of the theme Human. In their own unique way, each of the shortlisted photographers explores our shared humanity and the vast spectrum of our interactions with the world. The shortlisted portfolios span documentary, portraiture, landscape, and studies of light and process, and explore issues ranging from the plight of Indigenous peoples, conflict, childhood, the collapse of economic processes, to the traces of human habitation and industrial development, gang violence, border lands, and migration. Their work evaluates our role as stewards of the planet and sheds light on the critical issues of global sustainability, the central concern of the Prix Pictet since its inception seventeen years ago.
