We have some exciting news to share for the New Year!


First of all, we are working to the next edition of the World Press Photo exhibition, that will take place in Lucca in Autumn 2023. Save the date! 

We have some cooperations and projects in progress, especially one we're particularly proud of! Thanks to the support of the Creative Europe program by the EU, Photolux has joined the Fortepan Method project together with our friends from Summa Artium (Budapest, Hungary) and Fotofestiwal (Łódź, Poland). The Fortepan Archive began 12 years ago in Budapest, inspired by a plastic bag full of anonymous photographs found in a dumpster. Today, the archive includes 172,379 photos, which can be viewed at www.fortepan.hu/en. All of them are available under the open Creative Commons license, which means that they can be freely viewed, used and printed. As a result, an unique archive is created, accessible to everyone, telling the history of Europe from the beginning of photography to 1990. The history of everyday life, places and people, streets and homes, in the shadow of great political events of the last century. Fortepan will contribute to the construction and preservation of our collective memory. Stay tuned!
