Arles becomes a vibrant hub for contemporary art, photography, architecture, and design during summer 2025. The Rencontres d'Arles celebrates its 56th edition from July to September, featuring a politically charged program, Disobedient Images, addressing nationalism and ecological issues. Additionally, ON COUNTRY showcases the works of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, examining the meaning of 'on Country' and the relationship between land and identity. Throughout the city, exhibitions, performances, and pop-up dinners will offer a diverse cultural experience for visitors.
The Rencontres d'Arles has transformed the French city into an open-air museum for contemporary image-making, with a program titled Disobedient Images focusing on cultural diversity and postcolonial narratives.
The 2025 edition of Rencontres d'Arles aims to turn photography into a tool of commitment, defiance, and renewal amidst nationalism, nihilism, and ecological instability.
This year's exhibition ON COUNTRY gathers Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists to explore the deep relationship with land, identity, and ancestry, emphasizing cultural continuity.
