The 7th Dior Photography Prize has been awarded to Chia Huang, a 4th year student at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Jouve and Cogitore workshops, for her moving series on autism Silence Is Speaking, which combines documentary photography and amateur painting. The work of the 2024 winner will be exhibited alongside that of the twelve other artists at La Lampisterie from 1 July to 29 September 2024.
A selection of works from Silence is speaking can be viewed in the Beaux-Arts numériques virtual gallery.
