About the Wiesbaden Photo Days
The Wiesbaden Photo Days were launched in 2002, making them one of the oldest continuous photo festivals in Germany. They each have a specific theme and will take place every three years in future. The Wiesbadener Fototage, the Darmstädter Tage der Fotografie and RAY Fotografieprojekte Frankfurt/RheinMain agreed on this triennial cycle at the suggestion of the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain.
