  3. Promo Poster + Sheila Majid + John Ishii!

    May 10, 2011 by June:Wow

    Dear friends,

    Please feel free to use this poster to promote the event. Help us spread the word!

    Some updates since my last post:

    1) Datuk Sheila Majid has shown her support for our event by donating an autographed box set that will be auctioned off at the event!

    2) There will be a fun instant photo booth! Always wanted a photo with Nadia Heng on Mount Fuji? You’ll get your chance on the 15th!

    3) The fantabulous John Ishii will be photographing the event! During the Asian Tsunami of 2004, John was holidaying in Thailand with his family when the Tsunami struck the beaches. Instead of running inland together with the crowd, he whipped out his camera and managed to capture the devastating effects of the Tsunami. John was the first person to showcase the photo story to the world!

    *Update: Due to the never ending supply of awesomeness emanating from the kindness of people, we had to make some amendments to the poster, but here it is now, spread the love!

    PHOTOGRAPHY!

    Colin Shafer’s photographs cover various parts of Japan, but the highlights of this collection are areas in Sendai that have been destroyed by the tsunami. The photos capture and immortalise the beauty of these areas. Ben Liew’s music photography captures the diverse indie music scene in Tokyo and the dedication shown by Japanese musicians. It provides brilliant insight into a specific section of Japanese society.  Faisal Ariff returned from Japan recently on the 17th of April. His stunning photos capture a resilient Japanese society, carrying on after the quake. Chitoo shares unique insights during his trip to Tokyo, and photojournalist Cheryl Hoffman captures little details of Japanese culture not to be missed.

    At the exhibition, all these photos will be made available for sale and all proceeds from the sales will go to Japanese Red Cross Society.

    MISS WORLD MALAYSIA 2010!

    The event will be emcee-d by the gorgeous Miss World Malaysia 2010 Nadia Heng.
