Short description

The Associació Catalana per la Pau (ACP), International Action Peace (IAP) and the Más Retina collective organize and convene the fourth edition of the Barcelona International Photography Festival on Human Rights and Global Justice.

The Festival will be made up of 10 large-format exhibitions that will come out of this call, and that will be exhibited in the streets and squares of Barcelona, one in each district of the city, from 10/12/24 (International Human Rights Day) to 07/01/2025.

The Barcelona Human Rights International Photo Festival aims to take a look at global problems and their causes using photography as a tool to advance towards greater levels of social justice, environmental sustainability and the exercise of all rights within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. The objective is to generate spaces for reflection and information that stimulate critical citizenship, with the ability to intervene in the debates that make up our time.

The projects must address any issue related to Human Rights and Global Justice. It will be especially valued the incorporation of the gender perspective, climate justice issues, migrations, the right to housing and, in general, the orientation towards the 17 objectives of the 2030 agenda, the understanding of the global development model and the interdependent relationships between actors and countries and the approach to the causes of conflicts and inequalities.

Among the selected works, priority will be given to those whose themes best incorporate some dimension of global justice and preferably also include a local-global dimension. Specifically, special consideration will be given to works whose stories are related to environmental justice and the impacts of climate change.

The 10 projects selected by the jury will be exhibited during the festival in the streets of Barcelona and will be part of the catalog of the 2024 edition.
