Become a part of the 12th EMOP Berlin 2027! 📸

Until August 16, we invite museums, exhibition venues, municipal and private galleries, project spaces, and art academies to submit both open-themed exhibitions and leitmotif-related projects scheduled for the festival month. The focus is on photographic works that explore Europe as a shared and fragile space of experience constantly calling for renegotiation: in ways that are critical, contradictory, documentary, and poetic. Each participating exhibition related to the guiding theme can be viewed as a visual missive — a contribution to the question of how a common European space becomes visible, conceivable, and shapeable today.
For all information, please check our website (🔗www.emop-berlin.eu/en/).

With the guiding theme Common Ground. Letters from Europe, EMOP Berlin kicks off preparations for its 12th festival edition, which will take place from 4 MAR—4 APR 2027. Europe is less solid ground than a shared question. Common Ground inquires into what we share, what we lose, what we assert, and what we need to renegotiate. To this purpose, Letters from Europe employs the epistolary form: personal, polyphonic, and open-ended. EMOP Berlin 2027 is an invitation to participate in creating a shared European space through images.
