Foam Talent 2026 showcases an extraordinary new wave of image-makers shaping the future of photography, featuring 15 artists chosen from a global pool. The exhibition delves into themes of belonging, exploring the search for a safe space through intimate portraits and sweeping visual narratives.
Foam Talent 2026 highlights an exceptional new generation of photographers who are defining the future of the medium. This group exhibition features the work of 15 selected artists, chosen from nearly 3,000 submissions across 107 countries, who are identified as shaping the future of photography.
A recurring theme across their powerful visual languages is the notion of belonging and the search for a safe space, whether this is found within the home, family, community, or a sense of place. Each artist's contribution, ranging from intimate portraits to expansive visual narratives, offers a unique perspective and invites viewers to engage with the world through a fresh lens.
In addition to the main exhibition at Foam in Amsterdam, the work of the selected artists will gain significant international visibility through multiple Foam platforms. This includes a travelling presentation at the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation in Frankfurt, a dedicated issue of Foam Magazine, and features on Foam's digital platform.
