Foam Talent 2026 Exhibition at Foam

The 15 Foam Talents in the exhibition reflect the energy, diversity, and global reach of emerging photographic practices today. Together, their practices point towards bold new directions in the medium.

Overview

At a time marked by constant global change and uncertainty, the Foam Talent’s engage with some of the most pressing themes in photography and society today: political oppression, grief, and mental health, religion and faith, conflict, displacement, cultural identity, and technological innovation. Yet across these different bodies of work, one theme repeatedly comes to the surface: home. For many of the artists, home is not defined as a fixed place, but as a network of memories, relationships and emotional connections. Through their work – whether by embracing faith, confronting traumatic experiences, or imagining new forms of resilience – they suggest that home is not only where we come from, but something we continue to shape and carry within ourselves.

Exhibiting artists are Sean Cham, Yiding Chen, Sara De Brito Faustino, Liubov Durakova, Nad E Ali, Nazanin Hafez, Paola Jimenez, Ramona Jingru Wang, Daniel Mebarek, Ali Monis Naqvi, Alvin Ng, Adam Rouhana, Ammar Yassir, Farren van Wyk and Sasha Velichko. 

Foam Magazine will launch the newest Talent Issue #68 alongside the opening of the exhibition at Foam.
