2026 Program
This festival primarily showcases photography and storytelling projects through a dynamic mix of exhibitions (both indoor and outdoor), immersive talks, sharing sessions, workshops and connection nights with professionals in the photography scene.
Every program in 2026 explored the theme of "AFTERIMAGE" and what truly matters, inviting the audience to reflect and celebrate through each experience.
Photo Exhibition: AFTERIMAGE
3 June- 12 July 2026
12 PM - 8 PM
Nuanu Creative City: Labyrinth Art Gallery, Popper's Triangle, Bloc42
An international photography festival, first launched in 2025 by Nuanu Creative City, returns for its second edition. Taking place from 3 June to 12 July 2026 in Bali, the festival explores the theme AFTERIMAGE.
The second edition of FOTO Bali Festival invites photographers, artists, and storytellers working with lens-based media to respond to what remains after something has already happened—after a moment passes, after change takes place, after attention moves on.
The festival presents 36 artists from 24 countries, selected by curators Kurniadi Widodo and Putu Sridiniari from nearly 700 submissions across more than 80 countries. Their lens-based works are showcased through print exhibitions, photobooks, and multimedia installations. Every weekend, visitors can take part in workshops, artist talks, and presentations exploring visual storytelling across cultures and generations.
