experimental photo festival 2027 barcelona

We welcome experimental, creative and contemporary approaches to photography, including analogue, digital, historical, alternative, hybrid, expanded and interdisciplinary practices. There is no fixed theme and no single way of understanding experimental photography.

The Experimental Photo Festival 2027 marks the eighth edition of an international project that has spent the past eight years bringing together artists, photographers, curators, educators and photography professionals around experimental photography.

Since its first edition, the festival has grown as a meeting point for experimentation, exchange and community. Every year, Barcelona becomes a place to discover new approaches to photography, share processes and knowledge, and create connections between analogue and digital practices, historical techniques, alternative processes, expanded photography and new ways of producing and experiencing photographic images.

The festival is open to photographers, visual artists, multidisciplinary artists and collectives from anywhere in the world. Your project can be finished, in progress, previously exhibited or still developing into an exhibition. There is no fixed theme and no single way of understanding experimental photography. We are looking for projects that explore, question or expand the possibilities of photography and that have the potential to become engaging exhibitions in Barcelona.
