Wiesbaden Photo Days 2025
Until September 7, the 13th Wiesbaden Photo Days will present 38 photo and video projects at seven exhibition venues on this year's festival theme "Future? What future?". Admission to all exhibitions and events is free.
Between the climate crisis, social change, loss of trust and technological progress, it will be decided whether we grow together as a society or drift further and further apart. The artists at this year's Wiesbaden Photo Days are making this change visible. In their works, they tell of hopes, ruptures and possibilities. They are photo and video projects that shake up, irritate, touch and inspire. Above all, they show that transformation is not just a political concept, it is also an aesthetic adventure.
The exhibition parcours will be accompanied by a diverse program that creates space for exchange and encounters between the participants and the festival audience. There will be guided tours, artist talks and films as well as a lecture by Lena Papasabbas from "The Future:Project" and a panel in cooperation with the "Image Section" of the German Photographic Association (DGPh), which will be based on the festival theme.

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.
