Join us for the opening of the 22nd edition on May 14, 2026.
From powerful imagery exploring politics, the economy, and society in the Main Programme, to rising stars in the ShowOFF Section, to fresh student voices in the FRINGE Section – the city will be buzzing with artistic energy.
Since we’ve been running as a biennale since last year, meeting every two years, it’s even more important to put this date into your calendar.
Meet the curatorial team behind the main programme:
Anna Voswinckel (b. 1975, Hamburg) is a curator specialising in contemporary photography and lens-based media. Between 2000 and 2010, she was a co-founder and art director of the international art & literature magazine Plotki – rumors from around the Bloc, published in Berlin, Warsaw, and Prague. In 2020, she co-directed the 10th edition of the Fotograf Festival Prague. For the past two years, Anna Voswinckel has been the curator of the exhibition programme at Camera Austria in Graz. Alongside her curatorial work, Anna Voswinckel has many years of teaching experience in artistic photography, for example at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, and has been involved in artistic, journalistic, and editorial projects dealing with photography, art, and image politics.
Krzysztof Pijarski (b. 1980) – a photographer, visual culture scholar, translator, curator and lecturer. He is currently affiliated with SWPS University and previously lectured at the Łódź Film School. In his work, he examines the status of the image in the contemporary world. He focuses on memory, history, archives, and the politics of seeing. He is the author of photographic projects, including Lives of the Unholy, and a book entitled (Post)modern Fates of Images, dedicated to the work of Allan Sekula and Thomas Struth. He has translated texts on image theory, including an anthology by Allan Sekula. He is also a co-editor of the journal “View. Theories and Practices of Visual Culture”. His practice mostly merges reflection on visual media within the context of cultural and political transformations.
