Call for Artists Athens Photo Festival 2024

Athens Photo Festival 2024 is now accepting submissions from artists and photographers for its exhibition program.

Overview

Athens Photo Festival will feature the work of over 100 artists from all over the world. Embracing a variety of cultural, artistic, social, and political perspectives, the Festival invites projects from the entire spectrum of the photographic medium, ranging from fine art, conceptual, documentary photography, and photojournalism to other media, including video, performance, and installation. In this way, we seek to stimulate a critical dialogue that embraces a variety of expressive means, thematic areas, and approaches – from a traditional photography background to the most contemporary practices.

The exhibition program is committed to a broad definition of photography, encompassing all the different forms that the photographic image can take, combining both traditional and digital techniques such as print, projection, photobook, texts, objects, and more. Athens Photo Festival promotes various curatorial approaches, producing high-quality exhibitions while respecting art, artists, and the ideas they represent.
