About FUTURES Foundation
FUTURES is the European Photography Platform, bringing together the global photography community to support and nurture the professional development of emerging artists across the world. Since 2017, we aim to add long term value in empowering early and mid-career photographers – launching initiatives to promote their work and granting them access to an unprecedented network of professionals, markets and audiences.
FUTURES encourages new and adventurous ways of enhancing the vital relationship between artists and the industry by creating an ecosystem that allows and stimulates cross pollination, whilst simultaneously becoming the go-to source for emerging photography worldwide. FUTURES now has its headquarters in Amsterdam at the FUTURES Hub, a dynamic space that serves as an office, residency, and exhibition venue where young makers can experiment with their artistic practice and connect with both local and international audiences.
FUTURES works as a growing international network of influential organisations operating in the field of photography, bringing together a wealth of resources, expertise and talent programmes to pool from. Each year, they nominate a group of emerging artists to join the platform and co-host a series of events to increase their capacity, mobility and visibility. Synchronously, the platform aims to reveal new and exciting photographic approaches, by celebrating a diversity of stories, encouraging upcoming artists to present their most challenging work, and providing insights into their world and most recent projects.
