The 57th edition of the Rencontres d’Arles offers narratives rooted in various regions of the world, including the African continent and the Mediterranean. Spanning archives, major monographic exhibitions and emerging scenes, the images examine identities, stories and representations, whilst others explore the myriad facets of life. The programme highlights what endures, what changes and what connects us, and opens up spaces of freedom and empowerment, inviting us to look at the world with greater intensity.

This 57th edition of the festival will take place from 6 July to 4 October 2026, with an opening week from Monday 6 to Sunday 12 July.
