This year’s Fotofestiwal program explores the dual relationship between humans and non-human animals—and beyond. Art remains an essential tool for understanding the world, while collaboration and community offer a response to the tensions that affect us all.

The exhibitions of this anniversary edition attempt to confront the most pressing challenges of our time: from the crisis of democracy and climate catastrophes to the impact of AI on imagery and the complex, schizophrenic relationship between humanity and the natural world. The lineup also includes a music program curated in collaboration with the Ravekjavik Festival, a photo book exhibition, Night of Photography, the City Program, and dozens of satellite events.
