This year marks the 10th edition of the Jimei × Arles International Photo Festival, which will take place in Xiamen from November 29, 2024, to January 12, 2025.

The Jimei × Arles International Photo Festival is a cultural and artistic exchange project between Xiamen’s Jimei District and the Rencontres d'Arles in France. Since its establishment in 2015, the festival has showcased outstanding photography from around the world with a spirit of openness and diversity. It actively supports the creation, research, and curation of Chinese photography, enhancing its visibility to the public and amplifying its voice on the international stage. 

This year, the festival will showcase 23 exhibitions, featuring a total of 2,000 works by artists from France, Spain, Germany, India, Japan, Canada, the United States, and China.

Highlights include five exhibitions selected from the Rencontres d'Arles 2024: « The Journey to the Center" by Cristina De Middel; "New Farmer" by Bruce Eesly; and "Everyday Baroque (2014-2019)" by Rajesh Vora.
