Lines of connection. IPFA Award 2025 Photographers
From March 19 to April 28, 2026
The collective exhibition of the IPFA Award 2025 brings together the 50 finalists selected through the international call organized by the International Photography Festivals Association. The award functions as a global platform connecting photographers with festival directors, curators and audiences, fostering visibility, exchange and professional opportunities in international contexts.
About the exhibition
The works presented in this exhibition come from a wide variety of geographical, cultural and conceptual contexts. With an open thematic framework, the call welcomed projects from multiple photographic approaches, such as documentary, contemporary, experimental, analogue, urban and conceptual, reflecting the diversity of the current international photographic landscape.
The exhibition unfolds as a constellation of perspectives. Each project represents an individual voice and together they form a collective image of contemporary photography, marked by personal experiences, social concerns, formal experimentation and hybrid visual languages.
Through the selection process, the projects are reviewed by an international network of festival curators, which allows for individual exhibitions at member festivals, as well as this itinerant collective exhibition, which begins in Barcelona and continues at associated festivals around the world. This exhibition has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of 20 international festival directors and curators and the International Photography Festivals Association. Their joint effort reflects a shared commitment to democratize and internationalize access to photography, creating opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds to present their work within a global festival platform.
