WMA Commission supports artists and photographers to undertake new bodies of work or extension of existing lens-based projects related to the biennial theme “Hope”. We are now calling for proposals that encompass a broad range of ideas, visual expressions, and mediums, as long as lens-based media (including still and moving image) remains a core component of the project. We acknowledge the diversity and multidisciplinary nature of photographic practices, which may incorporate other mediums such as performance and writing.

WMA will award two commissions under this thematic cycle. Each awardee will receive a grant of HKD250,000 to research, develop, and produce the proposed artworks. The awarded projects must be completed within one year, during which the awardees will receive personalised mentorship and guidance from the WMA team as well as our international network. The final works will be exhibited individually at the WMA Space in Hong Kong as part of a solo exhibition. Details of the project execution and exhibition production budget will be agreed upon between the artists and the WYNG Foundation. By the end of the project period, the awardees shall donate an edition of the completed work(s) to the Foundation.
