World Press Photo 2026 exhibition

From 7 November to 14 December 2025, Barcelona once again faces the world with the 21st edition of World Press Photo, the exhibition that brings together the year's most striking and revealing photographs. This is more than just an exhibition: it is a collective portrait of the planet, told through 42 authors who dared to look where many turn away.

Each image is a story suspended in time: protests shaking Kenya, violence tearing through Palestine, melting ice consuming the Andes, the struggle of the LGBTQI+ community in Nigeria. The exhibition does not seek to comfort, but to remind, provoke, and question.

The winning photographs, most of them never before seen in Spain, form a global mosaic divided into six territories—from Asia to América del Sur— and three categories that reflect the depth of the craft: Fotografías Individuales, Reportajes Gráficos y Proyectos a Largo Plazo.

World Press Photo 2025 invites you to pause and look closely. To discover that behind every frame there is a voice, a body, an urgency. And that photojournalism, in its purest form, remains an act of resistance against forgetting.

Guided tours enhance the experience: a necessary conversation between the one who shoots and the one who observes. Because seeing, now more than ever, is also a way of understanding.
