The 12th edition of the KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival will be held from April 13th–May 12th, 2024, presenting 13 exhibitions in iconic Kyoto venues. The KYOTOGRAPHIE International Photography Festival is held annually over four weeks in a style that is unique in Asia. Exhibitions are staged creatively in various traditional and contemporary settings with original scenography. The festival creates opportunities, bringing people together of all ages, cultures, and back-grounds. Now recognized as one of the worlds leading photography events, KYOTOGRAPHIE has attracted some 239,676 visitors from within Japan and overseas since 2014. Our theme for 2024 is ‘SOURCE.’

KYOTOGRAPHIE, held in the spring in the ancient city of Kyoto, is one of the few truly international artistic events taking place in Japan. While honoring its millennium of history and tradition, Kyoto is at the same time a leading light of culture on an international scale. Valuable collections of photography and works by internationally renowned artists are exhibited in elegant, historic buildings as well as modern architectural spaces. Some shows feature the work of traditional artisans, while others highlight collaborations with the most modern technology. The exhibitions are presented outside the traditional galley format and work in harmony with the spaces in which they reside. Our goal is to present a multifaceted photography festival that cannot be found anywhere else but Kyoto
