organ vida futures talent call 2025

Organ Vida, as a FUTURES member organization, is launching an open call for artists to join the platform in 2025. The call is open to emerging and mid-career artists working in photography and video, as well as hybrid practices that explore the relationship between images and sound, sculpture, or spatial expansion, such as installations or performances.

FUTURES is a European Photography Platform that brings together the global photography community to support and nurture the professional development of emerging and mid-career artists worldwide. Operating as an ever-growing international network of influential photography organizations, FUTURES unites a wealth of resources, expertise, and talent programs. Each year, these organizations nominate a group of artists to join the platform and co-host a series of events designed to enhance the artists’ capacity, mobility, and visibility.

The artists will be selected by a professional jury comprising the Organ Vida curatorial team (Barbara Gregov, Lovro Japundžić, and Lea Vene), Hana Čeferin (curator and editor of ETC Magazine), Tena Starčević (curator, Office for Photography), and Vanja Žunić (curator, Eugster Gallery).

Co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, FUTURES Photography Platform is a platform focused on amplifying emerging talents in photography in Europe. Since 2017, the aim of FUTURES Photography Platform is to pool the resources and talent programmes of leading photography institutions across Europe in order to increase the capacity, mobility and visibility of its selected artists.
