Festival theme: Citizens / Citizens / مواطنون

This year’s International Photography Festival invites us to ask what it means to be citizens, to see those around us, to make our voices heard, and to take part in shaping our shared reality. Through photographs and personal stories, the festival gives a platform to perspectives that are not always heard, brings people and communities together, and opens a space for conversation, engagement, and change.

The festival is an event open to the public free of charge.

It is highly recommended to reserve a spot on a guided tour:
