In its 25-year history, PHotoESPAÑA has overseen breakneck changes to society, asserting photography’s place throughout as an ideal medium with which to create. Ourfestival has always been produced by and for society, giving photography an important spotlight. Surveying the history of this discipline, the festival has brought manyprominent artists to Spain. In line with this international perspective, we strive to be a bridge of sorts between European and Latin American photography.

‍

PHotoESPAÑA joined the FUTURES platform when it began in 2018. So far, we have nominated 25 European and Latin American photographers residing in Spain, all of whom were at key junctures in their careers. Some have participated in the festival’s emerging photography programmes; some have been the finalists in our prizes; whilst others have followed our Master’s in Photography and Visual Projects.

For every edition, we choose photographers who have developed – or are developing – a project that resonates with society. The environment, immigration, technological advances and the economy are just some of the themes that concern our authors.
