FOTO Bali Festival 2026
Bali’s international photography festival returning for the second edition
Supported by Wonderful Indonesia.

FOTO Bali Festival returns to Nuanu Creative City for its second edition from 3 June to 12 July 2026. Presented under the theme Afterimage, the festival brings together 36 artists from 24 countries, selected from nearly 700 submissions across more than 80 countries.

This year’s exhibition explores how images continue beyond the moment they capture, through memory, identity, history, landscape, and personal experience. Audiences will encounter photographic prints, photobooks, multimedia works, and site-specific presentations across Labyrinth Art Gallery & DOME, Japanese Garden, and Block 42.

Curated by Kurniadi Widodo and Putu Sridiniari, FOTO Bali Festival 2026 features artists from Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, including eight Indonesian artists.
