EUROPEAN MONTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The European Month of Photography (EMOP) is a network that brings together photography festivals held in various European capital cities. Established in Paris in 2004 alongside Berlin and Vienna, the network has since expanded to include additional partners. What unites these cities is their commitment to hosting photography festivals on an annual or biennial basis.
EMOP is dedicated to fostering and promoting a vibrant culture of photography festivals that has steadily taken root across Europe. The network extends beyond local contexts, highlighting the growing number of spaces devoted to photography – a defining visual medium of our time. These platforms continually explore and reframe the artistic and social dimensions of photography.
At the heart of the EMOP network lies the exchange of ideas around both historical and contemporary photographic art, the support of emerging international talents, and the visibility of photography through exhibitions and a variety of outreach formats.
AIM
The European Month of Photography Network aims to foster collaboration at the European level, strengthen the international photography community, encourage the exchange of knowledge and experience, and support emerging artists. The outcomes of this collective effort are showcased through exhibitions and a variety of engagement formats within each participating photo festival. These may include publications, artist talks, panel discussions, and other forms of public programming.
