Dear Readers,
We are overwhelmed by the love and continued support for our magazine. Our goal is to spark creative dialogues and create an online community space around new visual narratives and we are slowly seeing that emerge.
This year we have partnered with the Indian Photo Festival 2020, currently the largest photo festival in India to bring you this special issue. The IPF this year is partly online and will feature digital exhibitions along with online talks by great photographers.
We also announced the winners of the SD x Photo South Asia Grant, 10 distinct photographers working on a multitude of subjects that are important and need a global platform. Their work will be displayed by the IPF in this year’s digital showcase. Vasant Nayak, founder of Photo SouthAsia speaks to us about supporting such art movements in his interview.

Conversation
Photography as an art has thrived on the patronage and support of art lovers. Supporting the medium is essential to its growth, it encourages new, critical and important narratives to come to light and also makes it more accessible for people. Separated by continents, we spoke to two individuals who in their very unique ways are promoting and helping the photography community.

The IPF receives submissions from across the world for its annual open call. This year a diverse group of individuals and collectives sent in their work. Spanning across countries and different landscapes, some of the stories stood out to us and we spoke to the artists behind them.
