Rotterdam Photo 2026: Echoes of Silence – War in the Artist’s Soul

GENERAL OPEN CALL: ROTTERDAM PHOTO 2026

ECHOES OF SILENCE – WAR IN THE ARTIST'S SOUL
DEADLINE: DECEMBER 1, 2025

What does war do to an artist when he or she is not an eyewitness, but becomes a bearer of the emotional legacy? What does the violence sound like in the minds of those who survive, flee, or hear only?

In “Echoes of Silence,” we explore how war, conflict and collective trauma reverberate in the work of photographers who choose not to use the lens as a reporting tool, but as a mirror of their inner struggles.

20 Ways to Escape

In a world saturated with images and technological promises, to keep looking in wonder is already an act of freedom.

"20 Ways to Escape" is an open invitation to explore routes of escape–real or symbolic–from whatever confines us: routine, memory, borders, digital noise, even our own image. We are not here to tell you what to show; we want to accompany your gaze. What are you escaping from? Where to? What ways have you found to slip away?

The theme is deliberately broad. We welcome literal or metaphorical, intimate, social, political, poetic, or formal interpretations. We seek diversity and heterogeneity; we will take care of weaving curatorial coherence to articulate a shared exhibition narrative.
