Thank you for reading my profile. I am a multidisciplinary artist, researcher, and publisher, deeply committed to exploring and preserving vernacular photography and visual culture. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to preservation with a particular focus on historical archives and found photographs from regions like Myanmar, India, and Afghanistan.My engagement with these projects has allowed me to play a vital role in preserving local photographic history, especially in areas affected by conflict. Through collaborations and initiatives, I have endeavored to delve into visual archives, shedding light on forgotten narratives and promoting cultural exchange through the medium of art. My work serves as a bridge between the past and present, offering fresh perspectives on historical imagery and cultural heritage, enriching artistic narratives in the process.In addition to my creative endeavors, I am a co-founder of various archives and cultural institutions across South and Southeast Asia. Through my independent publishing house, Fraglich Publishing, I actively publish photographic narratives, furthering my mission to amplify diverse voices and stories through visual storytelling.Beyond my artistic pursuits, I also lend my expertise to companies, consulting on cultural programming and narrative creation. My aim is to continue fostering connections, preserving cultural heritage, and contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the world through the power of visual expression.
