Fotopub Festival focused on generating links between the freshest artistic activity and its wider cultural context. Unlike many other cultural institutions working in the field of contemporary art, our foremost intention was to work actively at the site/place where emerging artistic practices meet unconventional curatorial gestures. We aimed to recognize the qualities of emerging artists and connect them with established professionals in the field of contemporary art, thus enabling future interactions and supporting the development and acceleration of their artistic careers. Fotopub Festival occupied and built a space for emerging art practices in need of a platform for independent research, experimentation and practice, forming a multigenerational initiative for interdisciplinary cultural integration.
The festival has become an established international platform that promotes, stimulates and develops the freshest artistic activity across contemporary arts and cultures, running until the pandemic of 2020.
