encounters of young international photography 2025

Villa Pérochon, Centre for Contemporary Photographic Art (managed by the association Pour l’Instant) is calling for applications from emerging international photographers for the Encounters of Young International Photography residency, 10–28 April, in Niort, in the Nou- velle-Aquitaine region of France

Emerging international photographers with the most diverse approaches are selected on the basis of their application contents to participate in the creative residency and are accompanied throughout their stay by a major figure in contemporary photography, this year’s guest of honour being Kourtney Roy.

Villa Pérochon, Centre for Contemporary Photographic Art, is a technical centre, including a black and white darkroom and digital workshop, both equipped with professional equipment. With all this backing, the artists are free to create and experiment, further stimulated through meetings, sharing of experiences and exposure to the highly diverse approaches of other participants.
