An eclectic program in the image of the festival: open, joyful and deeply human.
Meetings, workshops, screenings? all summer long, experience photography with the artists of the Martagny Photo Festival!
Here, photography is lived, traveled and shared. Gardens, facades, paths and rural vistas become open-air exhibition spaces, offering a unique wandering experience accessible to all.
Since 2018, the festival has transformed the village of Martagny into a veritable territory of images. Far from traditional formats, it offers a different way of encountering contemporary photography: walking, observing, taking your time. A sensitive experience, accessible to all audiences and rooted in its environment, where the works engage in dialogue with the place that hosts them.
