A glimpse of the world
THE World Press Photo (WPP) exhibition is back in town, having opened on
Saturday in Casa Garden. It is a world class exhibition that is
featured all over the globe and which has become a regular feature in
Macau since the organizers Casa de Portugal (with Macau Foundation
support) signed an agreement in 2009 with the World Press Photo
Foundation to bring the event here.
It is a pity however that the exhibition has not yet become part of the cultural habits of the local public. When I visited yesterday, only a few photojournalism lovers were at Casa Garden, despite the large crowd that gathered in the neighboring Ruins of St. Paul’s. Maybe a larger promotion effort needs to be done by the organizers, because it hurts to see almost no attendance at an event that gathers such crowds in other places. I saw previous WPP editions in well-attended exhibitions held in Lisbon (initially at the Belém Cultural Center and later at the Electricity Museum) and at the emblematic Oude Kerk in Amsterdam.
