tables rondes / conferences :
1/ SHARING WHAT WE MAKE : DISTRIBUTION AND ACCESS IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH (en anglais)
With: The public, Salih Basheer , Sergio Escobedo, César Rodríguez, Clea Rekhou and Abdo Shanan.
This talk proposes a collective reflection on the circulation of photographic works (from images to photobooks and zines) within and beyond the Global South. Rather than a conventional presentation, the session will follow the format of a Tajmâat, inspired by the Tamazight concept of a communal gathering where participants sit in a circle to engage in dialogue on matters of shared concern. The aim is to bring together photographers, and the public to think collectively about distribution as both a political and cultural act. The discussion will explore how works travel, who has access to them, and what local or informal systems support their circulation.

2/ ABOUT PHOTOBOOKS : MAGNUM PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONVERSATION (en anglais)
Lúa Ribeira to present her latest book 'Agony in the garden', published by Dalpine, 2025.
'Agony in the Garden' is the second monograph by Magnum Photographer Lúa Ribeira presenting her most recent body of work that reads the signs of contemporary youth movements and how they convey the alienation and uncertainty of the present-era.
Susan Meiselas to present her latest book '44 Irving street', published by TBW Books , 2025.
In 1970, while a student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Susan Meiselas was living in a boarding house at 44 Irving Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What began as a class project evolved into a deeply empathetic portrait of community domestic life.

3/ ENTANGLEMENTS : PERSONAL ECOLOGIES AND CREATIVE PRACTICES (en anglais)
This panel discussion brings together authors of recently published photobooks that explore embodied, conceptual and spiritual experiences of the natural world. The conversation will draw connections and distinctions between the artists' creative practices, including the role of research, intuition, and play; how each works with, represents, or challenges concepts of "nature"; and in what ways each responds to the ecological challenges of our time.
With/avec : Amanda Sauer (Giant Willow Oak, L'Artiere, 2025); Emily Sheffer (Dust Collective); Yan Wang Preston ( With Love. From an Invader. - Rhododendrons, Empire, China and Me)
Moderator / modération: Lynn Alleva Lilley (The Nest, The Eriskay Connection, 2023)

4/ A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JH ENGSTRÖM and DAVID CAMPANY (en anglais)
Signing of JH’s new book, 'DIMMA/BRUME/MIST', published by Void.
In connection the publication of JH Engström’ new book we invite you to an open and intuitive conversation between JH Engström and David Campany circling around still images, moving images and books.
JH Engström, an inveterate bookmaker, is looking back at 35 years of work. Not with the ambition to present a "best of" or to resume previous work or books. But with the ambition to celebrate the movements, the energies, the searching, the reflection, the attempts and the doing. Everything roughly scanned directly from the contact sheets. The previously unpublished images are combined with texts written by Engström, throughout the book.

5/ PHOTOGRAPHIE ET PSYCHIATRIE

6/ A CONVERSATION WITH PAUL GRAHAM : THE ART OF BOOK MAKING (en anglais)
Paul Graham is one of the most prolific creators of contemporary photo books. We will delve into the process of making a book with him. He will share with us the way he conceived and constructed his photo books throughout his career, presenting us with artistic objects that move and enlighten us, personal, experimental, and political narratives that have helped shape the history of the photography book.
On this occasion, looking back on more than 30 years of photographic production, Paul Graham will talk to us about his history with books, the back-and-forth between exhibition spaces and printed pages. We will discuss the themes of self-publishing, collaboration with publishers, and the various people involved in the making of a book. We will ask him about the role of books in our contemporary matters and the balance between aesthetic necessity and social reality.
