FUTURES
FUTURES is a European platform that brings together the global photography community to provide long-term support to emerging artists in their professional development. The platform is supported by 18 members, including museums, festivals and publishers. Every year, FUTURES organizes several meet ups to bring the professional photography field together and to promote connections and networks. Each time in a different country and with a different FUTURES member.
FOMU has been a partner of FUTURES with the project .tiff since 2017. For .tiff, FOMU selects ten promising artists and photographers with a Belgian connection each year. They are taken on a year-long journey during which they are provided with various opportunities to showcase their work to an international professional audience. Additionally, FOMU collaborates with them to create the .tiff magazine and group exhibition.
