OPENING WEEK

IN THE HEART OF THE RENCONTRES
Throughout the city day and night, photographers and curators of the program meet the public at evening projections, exhibition tours, debates, lectures...
The Rencontres d’Arles stands with the Ukrainian people as they fight for their freedom. All week, the festival pays tribute to the artists and photographers whose lives are threatened by Russia’s aggression.

JULY 9
Papeteries Étienne

Opening week’s unmissable festive event is back after a two-year hiatus. Visitors can take a visual promenade on the abandoned industrial site of the Papeteries Étienne, opened especially, to see over forty photographic proposals projected in a loop on giant screens (including one dedicated to Ukraine) or in the form of installations.
This big photography party offers favorites, cartes blanches to institutions, performances, concerts, DJ sets, food trucks, and bars.
