About the Festival<\/h2>\n
\n\t

The Fotograf Festival explores intersections in photography and contemporary art \u2013 just like its partner projects \u2013 Fotograf Gallery<\/a> and Fotograf Magazine<\/a>. Festival is held in Autumn months and it presents current topic through solo as well as group exhibitions prepared in cooperation with invited domestic or foreign curators in various Prague galleries and institutions. A series of discussions, atist talks, site-specific events, public space exhibitions, projections and guided\/commented tours accompany that exhibition program. Fotograf Festival is the only thematic- and curator-conceived photography festival in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to promote the photographic medium and its broader integration into contemporary art and into the conscience of the general public.<\/p>\n

The discussions, at which invited experts debate each other on the current festival theme in the context of visual art, are meant not only for the expert public, but for the lay public as well. Fotograf Festival looks to build a tradition and a new platform for a photography festival that places Prague among other important centers for photography and the visual arts in Europe.\u00a0 It strives to share contemporary photographic art and the creation of a thematically-focused space where the general public and experts from around the world can meet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
