What are the needs, wishes and challenges of places for photography education in the Netherlands and for self-thaught photographers? How can FOTODOK contribute to fulfilling these wishes and needs? Our research into these questions has resulted in a new exchange program in which the exchange and sharing of knowledge are key. Are you a self-taught photographer and would you like to join one or more meetings?

This year’s Rencontres d’Arles photofestival is very special for FOTODOK.

Reach out in person for a meeting, a tour of the exhibition or come and find us at one of the events below, we love to see you! All our events are also listed in our events section.

FOTODOK launches a new program for talent: the FOTODOK TALENT EMBASSY. We provide an intensive program for selected emerging artists. With the Talent Embassy we do internationally what we are already doing successfully in the Netherlands: making talents visible and connecting them to a relevant network.
