Participants in the official programme
The official Bicentennial of Photography programme is open to projects accredited through the national call for projects and led by those working in photography, the visual arts and culture.
Projects must:
- showcase photography in all its forms (artistic creation, heritage, contemporary practices and social, intellectual and educational uses)
- align with the values and objectives of the Bicentennial, as set out in the manifesto reflecting its scholarly and artistic vision
- be open to all audiences, with a strong focus on accessibility and engagement
The official programme will include exhibitions, festivals, gatherings, conferences, hands-on initiatives, publications, educational workshops and events designed to transfer and share knowledge, organised from September 2026 to September 2027 across mainland France, overseas territories, the regions and internationally.
