GUEARI GALERI
Our mission is to serve as a platform for inclusive creativity, providing individuals with the opportunity to expand their photographic works through the creation of artist’s photobook. To support this mission, we have been conducting photobook classes, known as #kelasbukufotoguearigaleri, since 2015. These classes aim to empower participants in developing their personal stories using the medium of photobooks. Additionally, we organise photobook discussions, called as #ngobrolbukufoto, in various regions across Indonesia and abroad. These discussions serve as educational platforms to enhance Indonesian photobook literacy.
Over the years, Gueari Galeri has had the opportunity not only to showcase our own publications but also to represent Indonesian photobooks from other local publishers in numerous international photography festivals. Some notable festivals include the 13th International Convention of Asia Scholars 2024, Exposure+ Photo Festival 2023, Indonesian Photobook Tour 2023 (Singapore, MISS READ: Art Book Berlin, London), Singapore International Photo Festival 2022, Yangon Photo Festival 2019 & 2020, Arles Books Fair 2022, Hong Kong International Photo Festival 2022, and Singapore Art Book Fair 2019. These opportunities have allowed us to showcase the vibrant and diverse photography scene in Indonesia on a global stage.
