Theme 2026: “20 Ways to Escape”

In a world saturated with images and technological promises, to keep looking in wonder is already an act of freedom.

“20 Ways to Escape” is an open invitation to explore routes of escape – real or symbolic – from whatever confines us: routine, memory, borders, digital noise, even our own image.
We are not here to tell you what to show; we want to accompany your gaze.
What are you escaping from? Where to? What ways have you found to slip away?

The theme is deliberately broad.
We welcome literal or metaphorical, intimate, social, political, poetic, or formal interpretations.
We seek diversity and heterogeneity; we will take care of weaving curatorial coherence to articulate a shared exhibition narrative.

What we are looking for

• Projects created with analog photography or photochemical/alternative processes (film in all formats, historical processes, hybrid workflows with analog output, photograms, cyanotypes, platinum-palladium, etc.).

• Series completed or in an advanced stage, suitable for production or transport and gallery exhibition.

• Projects that engage – directly or indirectly – with “20 Ways to Escape.”

We value proposals with a clear curatorial concept, suggested display/mediation strategies, and well-defined technical materials.
