Caleidoscope: A Pop-Up Photo Exhibition by the OIST Photographic Society

Thursday, May 15, 2025 - 09:00 to 16:00
Center Building Level C

Caleidoscope is a collective exhibition presented by the OIST Photographic Society. This collection features photographs that vary in technique, proficiency, and personality, yet unknowingly explore similar emotions. These images silently connect, mirroring each other from the surrounding landscape to the most introspective reflections of self, captured in a sparkle of bokeh.
