26th Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan

Anyone who comes to Perpignan to discover the Visa pour l’Image festival comes out of it troubled. And perhaps even more than usual for this 26th edition, placed under the sign of urgency. Urgency to show a planet with fire and blood, but also urgency to call for help to save photojournalism.
Perpignan is the international meeting place for photojournalism. In this sense, this festival is both a compendium of current events, but also of humanity and the commitment of photojournalists.
This year, 26 exhibitions will occupy the city until September 14th. The school week will follow, until September 19, 2014.
