The story

Festival Internacional de Fotografia de Valparaiso in Valparaíso

Since 2010, the Festival Internacional de Fotografia de Valparaiso has brought Latin American photographers, collectives and students together around exhibitions, workshops and portfolio reviews organized by the collective Casa Espacio Buenos Aires 824. Each edition builds around an open guiding question rather than a fixed theme, with venues including the hillside Parque Cultural de Valparaiso.

A single collective, Casa Espacio Buenos Aires 824, has driven the Festival Internacional de Fotografia de Valparaiso since its first edition in 2010, building an event around a specific working philosophy rather than a fixed theme: horizontal dialogue, shared creation and community built through photographic image.
