The Mediterranean has always been both a border and a meeting place: a space of risks and promises, of shipwrecks and discoveries. Its waters both separate and unite, connecting peoples and cultures from antiquity to the present day. ValenciaPhoto 2026 invites artists to explore this complex territory: its memories, its dialogues, its conflicts, and its encounters. We seek perspectives that capture the diversity, the shared history, and the contemporary realities of the Mediterranean, a space where what separates can also unite.
