Open Call for Portfolios: LagosPhoto Festival 2025 Commissions

The African Artists’ Foundation (AAF) and LagosPhoto are pleased to announce an open call for artist portfolios for the 2025 edition of the festival. This call is specifically for artists working with lens-based media, such as photography, video, or mixed media, who wish to be commissioned to create new work for the upcoming biennial event.

With this open call, LagosPhoto is seeking to identify and work with talented artists, offering them the chance to develop work that will contribute to one of Africa’s most recognized international photography festivals. Selected artists will be commissioned to create work based on the 2025 theme, “Incarceration,” and will benefit from mentorship, workshops, and curatorial guidance throughout the creative process.
