This will happen in 2026:

► This year, the Artist Meets Archive residencies will take place at the German Dance Archive, Greven Archiv Digital, Fotowerkstätte Schmölz, the LVR State Museum, and FrauenMediaTower, accompanied by archive visits and artist talks.

► We will continue working on our Studio Visits program and expand it into public events at art venues across Cologne. Dates will be announced shortly!

► We are looking forward to the Congress of Not Knowing “Not Knowing – Photography and the Unknown” at the Orangerie Theater from October 22–25, 2026.

► Every two months, there will also be meet-ups focused on specific topics, to which we will invite actors from Cologne’s cultural scene as well as interested participants, to jointly develop the 2027 festival.

► As usual, you can submit your exhibitions for participation in the festival via our website starting in November 2026. We’re looking forward to it!
