Christie's is hosting the Global SinoPhoto Awards Exhibition from 13 January - 31 January 2025. The Global SinoPhoto Awards aims to communicate Chinese culture and values through remarkable imagery taken by photographers from around the globe and to create a dialogue between “East” and “West”. Culture Identified: Global SinoPhoto Awards Revisited 2020 – 2024, features 62 selected images from 32 photographers worldwide who have entered their photographs into the Awards since it launched in 2020.
The annual exhibition, sponsored by Raymond Legal, marked the fifth year of GSPA since its foundation in 2020, highlighting 62 selected images from 32 photographers worldwide who have entered their photographs into the Awards from 2020 – 2024, to share their different global perspectives and understanding of Chinese culture. The aim of the Awards is to connect people through an appreciation of Chinese culture and promote photographers internationally. Over the first four years, the Global SinoPhoto Awards has collected thousands of images from hundreds of photographers from more than 40 countries. The exhibition featured past entries that tell a story, whether it’s a personal experience, an ancestral connection, or a fascination with Chinese culture.
The Global SinoPhoto Awards, founded by Yintong Betser and Lynne Bryant, was inspired by the historical exhibition the Family of Man curated by Edward Steichen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955. It celebrated the universal human experience through powerful photographs from around the world, promoting global unity, empathy, and the shared values that connect all people. As well as the principal sponsor Raymond Legal; Blick Rothenberg, and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office also returned this year, continuing their support of the Global SinoPhoto Awards. The gallery space was generously provided by Christie’s London.
