ISSP is a platform for contemporary photography, based in Latvia and acting internationally. As a member of FUTURES, we feel that our experience lies in representing artists from the Baltic region, and our selection process was based on the broad collaborative network through different ISSP programs. This year’s artists represent diverse approaches to the medium of photography, sharing a humanistic approach and exploring themes relevant to today including migration, identity, history, digitalization and ecology. We believe that through the diversity of their approaches, these five artists will contribute both to the FUTURES community, and to the role of the artist in a changing and challenging world.
