Art Photo Bcn 2026

Under the idea of the image as a porous territory, the festival proposes a journey where memory and the present, document and experimentation coexist. It is not only about looking at photographs, but about understanding how they are constructed, what they tell and from what places they are produced.

The fair, curated by Isabel Lazaro, brings together a diverse selection of artists and pays particular attention to a constellation of female authorships spanning generations and contexts. Established names enter into dialogue with new voices in a proposal that connects careers and opens up new readings.

Beyond the exhibition, the programme unfolds in different layers: the Visionados, as a platform to promote emerging projects; the Photobook Market, focused on publishing as a space for thought; and a series of activities, workshops and meetings that broaden the experience.

Caroline Kist’s presence as the image of this edition reinforces that link between discovery and projection. Her work sets the tone for a festival that does not seek closed answers, but rather opens up questions about the image and its role in the present.

The activity will continue online until 30 July, extending the dialogue beyond the days of the fair.
