Humanity encompasses the diverse experiences and qualities that define us as individuals and as a collective. As we grow further as a society, how do we define humanity? Reflecting on our capacity for love, empathy, and resilience, the 2025 KYOTOGRAPHIE theme is illuminated through two distinct cultural perspectives: the Japanese and the Western, exploring the diversity of human experience. Western traditions often highlight individuality, autonomy, and the centrality of humans in the world, celebrating personal freedom and universal moral principles. In contrast, the Japanese concept of humanity is deeply relational, emphasizing harmony and interdependence, and viewing humanity as inseparable from the natural world. The lived experience is central to the works within this year’s program. Artworks created from deep emotional responses to life reflect and comment on the fabric in which each of us exist. Perhaps our shared traits and values remind us of our responsibility to nurture compassion, foster understanding and create a sense of belonging, and connection. In seeking meaning together through the power of photography we hope that it may engage people to create a shared understanding of humanity in all its complexity, inspiring greater connection and shared accountability in our ever-changing and chaotic world.
