Japan & Australia Alt Connections

The concept of Cultural Exchange connecting alternative photographers from Japan and Australia was discussed between Masami Tamura and Keiko Goto finding both communities having little information about each other. Keiko’s background of spending her life almost equally  in Japan and Australia lifted her desire to help to bridge this gap. 
We hope to organize three or four Zoom sessions each year to introduce photographers from Japan and Australia, with the added variations from time to time with guest speakers from other parts of the world.
