EXPOSED TORINO FOTO FESTIVAL 2025

Introduced today the first news on the second edition of EXPOSED Torino Foto Festival (April 16-June 2, 2025). 12 solo and group exhibitions, 16 artists from 12 countries (Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Palestine),  7 prestigious exhibition venues (Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti, Archivio di Stato, Camera – Italian Centre for Photography, Gallerie d’Italia – Turin, GAM – Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, OGR-Officine Grandi Riparazioni and Palazzo Carignano): these are the numbers of EXPOSED Torino Foto Festival, a cultural event that offers an international overview of the latest trends in contemporary photography.

“Beneath the Surface” is the topic chosen for the second edition of the Festival, organised by Fondazione per la Cultura Torino under the guidance of artistic directors Menno Liauw and Salvatore Vitale, and promoted by Città di Torino, Regione Piemonte, Camera di commercio di Torino, Intesa Sanpaolo, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo and Fondazione CRT in cooperation with Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT.

The theme of the festival is a call to explore the contents and worlds that hide under the surface of images – not only those captured by the artists’ shots, but also those generated, transformed, and retouched through increasingly advanced and interconnected technologies. The artists’ gaze shows the complexity of present times from different perspectives, capturing unprecedented angles. Photography brings back to the forefront of contemporary debate the critical reflection on current issues, such as climate change, the postcolonial perspective, and fast-changing geopolitical balances.

Always at the forefront in supporting Turin’s cultural system, the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT has stimulated the creation of yet another moment of great events dedicated to contemporary creativity, to be added to the extraordinary programme that comes to life in Turin every November.

“For 25 years, the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT has been working in synergy with the Fondazione CRT to support our cultural system, both in terms of the provision of resources and in the important role of liaison, facilitating the creation of networks and cooperation between different cultural institutions. In this spirit, this year we are renewing our collaboration with EXPOSED. Torino Foto Festival, an event that aims to position Turin in national and international cultural circuits and make the city a point of reference for Italian and European photographic culture, also thanks to the involvement of the territory’s cultural network“, says Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, President of the Fondazione per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT.
