ICP supported Image Worlds: Hybridity, a two-day symposium held in New Delhi, India, alongside the Alkazi Foundation for the Arts and PhotoSouthAsia, Offset Projects, Aperture, and Maze Collective, among other institutions.
Per Gylfe, Director of Education at ICP, featured in this video, moderated a discussion with photographer Yumna Al-Arashi.
The event was held at the India International Centre, at the end of July, and saw participation from photographers, researchers, curators, and practitioners from around the world, including India, France, the US, Nepal, the UAE, and the UK.

What new paradigms will define visual culture?
