European Photography

The XX edition of European Photography, scheduled in Reggio Emilia from April 24 to June 8, 2025, celebrated the festival's twentieth anniversary with the theme "Being Twenty", an exploration of youth as an age of transitions, choices, and contradictions. The artistic direction was composed of Tim Clark, Walter Guadagnini, and Luce Lebart.

The official circuit exhibitions were held at the Chiostri di San Pietro, Palazzo da Mosto, Palazzo dei Musei, Biblioteca Panizzi, and Spazio Gerra, alongside hundreds of projects in the OFF circuit. Among the most popular projects were Intangibili by Federica Sasso, dedicated to young caregivers in the Reggio Emilia area, and Fluorescent Adolescent, curated by Francesco Colombelli, on adolescence. This XX edition also confirmed Reggio Emilia, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, as one of the leading photography hubs in Europe.
