The 2026 edition of the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography places vulnerability at its core — not as an individual weakness, but as a shared social and political condition: a common good. In a world shaped by multiple crises, the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography brings together photographic practices that do more than document reality. The works on show create connections, reveal often unseen or marginalised experiences, and open spaces of attention, care, and sensitivity.

• The programme unfolds across four main thematic axes:
  – feminisms and body politics,
  – affective ecologies and relationships with the living world,
  – narratives of migration and hospitality,
  – reparative artistic gestures, in which images become spaces of care, memory, resistance, and visual justice.
