FOTODOK’s talent program, Lighthouse, grants a unique opportunity to ten emerging talents selected by a panel of judges. These individuals are given the chance to cultivate new project proposals with comprehensive support spanning six months. These ten artists are dedicated to exploring the creation of new narratives that incorporate various perspectives, empowering the subjects of their work and fostering a meaningful connection with their audience. They do so through a multimedia approach, experimenting with diverse mediums and archival materials.
