SUMMARY:Bieler foto tage 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography has been celebrating contemporary photography for more than 25 years. As the only annual festival of new photography in Switzerland, it has been able to position itself on the national cultural scene, while also building its international presence and networks. Each year during the month of May, venues both familiar and new in the city of Biel/Bienne are taken over by works and projects by some twenty Swiss and international photographers, which can be experienced in the form of a photographic walking tour. As well, thanks to our many partners, the exhibitions are complemented by a rich programme of events, including professional meetings, guided tours, talks and performances. Held in a bilingual city in the centre of Switzerland, the festival also develops each year projects that go out across Switzerland and abroad.\nThe 2026 edition of the festival places vulnerability at its core — not as an individual weakness, but as a shared social and political condition: a common good. In a world shaped by multiple crises, the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography brings together photographic practices that do more than document reality. These works create connections, revealoften unseen or marginalised experiences, and open spaces of attention, care, and sensitivity.\nThe programme unfolds across four main thematic axes:\n– feminisms and body politics,\n– affective ecologies and relationships with the living world,\n– narratives of migration and hospitality,\n– reparative artistic gestures, in which images become spaces of care, memory, resistance, and visual justice.\n\nThrough collaborative practices, critically engaged images, reappropriated archives, and forms of gentle resistance, audiences are invited to compose their own paths and narratives, without a prescribed route.\nEach exhibition venue becomes a critical space for reflection, focusing on one of these questions and fostering dialogue between artworks, contexts, and publics. The festival brings together renowned Swiss and international artists, emerging voices, collectives, researchers, and activists whose work explores the social functions of images, their sensorypower, and their critical potential.\nImages, we know, are not limited to documenting pain or injustice. They can also connect, comfort, and repair. In this sense, photography becomes a space of care, resistance, and the reconfiguration of the sensorial — a place where shared thinking, feeling, and action can emerge.\n\nLink: https://bielerfototage.ch/en/ ( https://bielerfototage.ch/en/ )\n
