eden levi am (b. 1992) is an artist, photographer, and queer activist based in Geneva. For several years they have developed a documentary approach that centres on activism and intimacy. Working primarily with analogue photography and video—and, more recently, performance—their practice offers a personal and affective view of the world that resonates with current social and political issues. From an intersectional feminist and decolonial perspective, their work addresses questions related to the body, gender, identities, and their representations. They graduated from the Vevey School of Photography (CEPV) in 2018. Their work has been exhibited and published in Switzerland and abroad since 2017. It was recently featured at Swiss and international venues and festivals such as Verzasca Foto Festival (2024), Fesses-tival (Geneva 2023), Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival (London 2023), Musée d’art de Pully (CH, 2017 & 2023), Urgent Paradise (Lausanne 2022), Forde (Geneva, 2022), Romantso Gallery Space (Athens 2020), Space Grotesk (Basel 2019), CPG (Geneva, 2019), La Nef (Jura, 2019), and others. Publications include Libération (2021) and Journal des Bains (2016–2025) as well as several exhibition catalogues. In 2021 they were awarded the City of Geneva’s Documentary Photography Grant. The resulting project, Rivers, was published in 2023 as a monograph by Miami Books and presented in a solo exhibition at Halle Nord in Geneva, accompanied by two performances during the Fesses‑tival, a festival that promotes positive and inclusive visions of bodies, identities, and sexualities. Most recently, they presented their latest project, ZONE ROUGE RACINES, within the framework of the JOUPH (2025) programme at Espace Libre in Biel/Bienne.

Artur Pławski is a photographer with a late debut. A graduate of Philosophy at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, he participated in the Sputnik Photos Mentoring Program for photographers. He works in the field of documentary photography, drawing on the critical potential of imagination and subjective forms of meaning-making. In his work, he focuses on moments when facts lose their apparent obviousness, the image reveals its subjective nature, and emerging meanings point to a broader contextual framework. He explores the relationship between the individual and urban space, as well as the influence of ideology and language on perception. He is particularly interested in images that resist closure. Artur is the winner of the Photography Publication of the Year Award (Poland, 2023) and received an honourable mention at the PhMuseum Photobook Award 2025.

Daniel Chatard is a German-French documentary photographer and visual researcher. He investigates themes revolving around power structures, collective identity, and trauma. Looking at landscapes as vessels of collective experiences and memories, he tells human stories in their environmental context. Daniel graduated in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hanover, and in Photography & Society at the Royal Academy of Arts The Hague. He lives in Hamburg and works as a freelance photojournalist with media outlets such as Die ZEIT, Der Spiegel, and Bloomberg. Daniel describes his approach as involved documentary, making his own relations to his subjects part of the work and using collaboration to create new knowledge. His long-term project Niemandsland was awarded at the World Press Photo Award and published by the Eriskay Connection in 2024.

Maria Siorba (b. 1986) is a visual artist based in Athens, Greece, with an educational background in Fine Arts, Graphic Design & Communication. Her photography, deeply tied to personal experience, explores human connections, the fragility of self-expression and the fluidity of truth. She uses photography as a psychological and existential tool to uncover new layers of meaning and emotional resonance.

Clare Lyons (b.1993) is an artist and photographer working between Belfast and Dublin. Considering the photograph as an object is integral to Clare’s practice. Her work often employs methods borrowed from sculpture and printmaking to draw attention to this, blurring the lines of what photography is or can be. Clare’s practice has been largely autobiographical, focusing on deeply personal themes and stories of healing and catharsis in the face of trauma and mental illness. Recent works represent a transitory phase for Clare as her practice shifts and changes, no longer confined to being the subject of her own work. Clare was one of five Irish Talents selected by PhotoIreland for the FUTURES European Photography Platform in 2021, and in 2022 represented Ireland at 'Visage(s) d'Europe' curated by Collectif Fetart in Paris. Clare presented her debut solo exhibition 'To Jack' at The Limerick Museum in October 2024.

Born in 1991, I grew up in Nancy in north-eastern France. Since 2011, I have been living and working in Brussels. I have a bachelor's degree in photography from ESA Le 75 and a master's degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp (Belgium).
My practice focuses on landscape and questions revolving around its use, exploitation and representation. Through my projects, I attempt to reflect on our relationship with what we call nature and to offer a different understanding of it.
In Brussels, in 2020, I co-founded the collective La Nombreuse, composed of eight photographers and an art historian. We opened a multifaceted space, part studio, part exhibition space, conference venue, workshop space, etc.
The monograph Charbon blanc was published in October 2021 by Le Bec en l'air. Since 2017, my work has been exhibited at various festivals and galleries in France and Belgium in particular.

I am a Danish-American documentary photographer and visual artist dedicated to creating space for Black interiority and complexity. With a BA in photojournalism, I approach photography through storytelling with the awareness of genuine representation. Navigating from this perspective, I aim to capture the spaces where we are closest to our authentic self. As I turn my camera towards the reality of everyday-Black-existence in its simplicity and extraordinary, I want to uplift the voices and stories of afrodiasporic individuals. As I turn the camera on myself, I explore both personal and collective history. Raised between Copenhagen and Hamburg with African American heritage, I work across local and global contexts, using my practice as a language through which I connect with and express Black existence.

Bo Vloors (she/her b. 1993, Belgium) is a visual artist, writer, photographer and filmmaker living and working between Brussels and Liège. Her artistic work hovers between the complex yet fascinating realms of image and language, exploring human relations in association with and within their surroundings, and the influential power of images. Drawing analogies between human experiences, natural cycles and symbiotic arrangements, she explores the ambiguity of the human condition, while simultaneously questioning the influence of images on our collective and personal intersection of reality and memory. For several years now, she has been practicing the artistic pollination between the audiovisual art, photography and writing by maintaining an archive with her own photographs, written texts, audiovisual and field recording. In 2022, she returned more explicitly to photography which eventually led her to a growing interest in the dynamic between image and text, as she started approaching her writings not only as an essayistic, but as material, printed matter, linguistic and lyrical vocal arrangements, all within the broader sense of “image-making”. The formats she uses may vary from publications, spatial installations, audio-visual to audio-performative. Her work has been exhibited in several cinemas, institutes, galeries, theaters and off spaces, both nationally and internationally. Since 2019, she is an active member of the Paris-based art collective SPASS and co-founder of the revue Voyons Voir.
