During the opening weekend (February 24 - 26), a series of

talks, lectures and screenings at the JKK by renowned personalities from the world of photography including Laia Abril, Naveen Kishore, Lars Willumeit and Sebastian Hau, will complement the exhibitions.

The festival will also host a workshop on photobook making by Japan's Yumi Goto, who launched Tokyo's 'Reminders Project', and Argentina's award-winning photographer Mariela Sancari, who will engage with young photographers, both amateur and professional.

JaipurPhoto will also host two collateral exhibitions which will be held at the JKK, 'Memento Mori' by Pablo Bartholomew in collaboration with Nature Morte and 'Everyday Baroque' by Rajesh Vora in collaboration with PHOTOINK.

In an attempt to extend the festival's reach and connect with different disciplines besides photography, as well as expand the creative context and dialogue, JaipurPhoto, this year, has collaborated with Indo-Swiss firm IN:CH.

A demountable architectural installation on which large-format prints will be displayed at the JKK, will also be designed and fabricated for the event.

"This architectural initiative will become a regular feature of JaipurPhoto in coming editions," say organisers.

The festival will come to a close on March 5.
