A landmark event on the Southeast Asian photographic scene, Photo Phnom Penh festival will be held from October 22 to November 22, 2026 in the heart of the Cambodian capital. For this 17th edition, Photo Phnom Penh reaffirms its commitment to contemporary and historical photography while strengthening its role as a platform for artistic exchange.

Organized in conjunction with the 20th Francophonie Summit, which will be held this year in Cambodia, the festival will bring together emerging and established artists, curators, and professionals from around the world, particularly from the Francophone community.

Under the theme At Home in the World, this edition examines how we remain connected to the places, histories, and communities that shape us while engaging openly with an increasingly interconnected world. It invites reflection on how memory, travel, encounters, and shared experiences influence our sense of belonging and our relationship with others.

‍Exhibitions, public installations, screenings, workshops, portfolio reviews, lectures, and professional networking events will transform cultural venues and public spaces across the capital, enabling artists, local communities, and international visitors to connect. ‍
