The program for Rencontres de la Photographie 2026 was presented in Arles by Christoph Wiesner and Aur\u00e9lie de Lanlay, under the theme “Des mondes \u00e0 relire”. This year’s edition, which will run until early October, will place particular emphasis on the transmission and reading of images, with a special highlight at the end of the summer: “Le septembre des Rencontres”.
\nStarting on July 6, the festival will offer a journey between the Mediterranean and the African continent, with a focus on Ghana, the homeland of Carlos Idun-Tawiah, who designed the poster. Other African scenes, from C\u00f4te d’Ivoire to South Africa, will also be highlighted.
\nThe living world will be at the heart of a number of exhibitions, from views of the animal world (Clergue, Parr, Lartigue, Salgado) to plant explorations, notably at the Jardin d’\u00e9t\u00e9 with Flower Power. For the first time, the hospital park will also host an open-air exhibition.
\nAmong the highlights, the Night of the Year will be held on July 11 at Papeteries \u00c9tienne. Finally, the festival will welcome unexpected guests such as director Park Chan-wook and Charlotte Gainsbourg, whose photographs will be exhibited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
