Located along Veterans Road in Taguig, an oasis tucked inside an old building full of warehouses.
THOUSANDFOLD is a multi-platform artist-run space for contemporary photography focused on the expansion and education of visual literacy and independent publishing in the Philippines. They operate as a photobook library with an archive of 200++ recent local and international titles and as a venue for varied critical programming including workshops and curated events that bring the photography community together. They also produce new works through Thousandfold small press, their arm for special projects and independent publishing of handmade photobooks.
Their active space is also home to photography studio for rent and a specialty small-batch bookstore dedicated to hard-to-find international and independent photobooks, monographs, artist books, and photozines direct from authors and publishers. They’re also the informal headquarters of the newly-formed Photobook Club Manila, the counterpart of other cities worldwide.
Being the first of its kind in Manila, Thousandfold is a positive addition to the the Philippines’ cultural milieu by providing a platform for the development, production, and promotion of formidable photographic author-works from local photographers/artists, both established and emerging.
Through their Special Projects and Thousandfold small press, they push for the production of new works and more publication of Filipino content by working with invited photographers to create distinctive photobooks, artist books, and handmade photozines.
Thousandfold is not just for photographers and artists, but also for curious individuals, appreciators, collectors, amateurs, and students; all are invited to get to know the diverse spectrum of contemporary photography and learn more about from the artistic processes of current practitioners.
Thousandfold was founded by artist/photographer Wawi Navarroza in 2015 and was the organizing body behind Fotosemana Manila 2015, Manila’s first international microfestival for contemporary photography.
