Africa Foto Fair 2025

Africa Foto Fair 2025
Nov 12, 2025 – Dec 7, 2025

La Maison de l’Art, Grand-Bassam
Abidjan, Republic of Côte d'Ivoire

Africa Foto Fair emerges as a meeting ground where photography becomes a bridge between continents, carrying voices, memories, and visions from Africa to a global audience. Conceived as a dynamic online platform, it offers a space where images move freely beyond borders, encouraging dialogue and nurturing a community shaped by shared curiosity and respect for creative expression.

The initiative draws inspiration from the long-standing commitment of its founder, Aida Muluneh. Early in her career, she saw the challenges faced by young photographers in Ethiopia and across the continent, where limited infrastructure often hindered artistic growth. Her response was to establish the Addis Foto Fest in 2010, an event designed to gather artists, collectors, and professionals in one vibrant setting. Over the years, the festival became a vital stage where emerging talents could find visibility and connection.

When the pandemic disrupted physical gatherings, the need for a more adaptable and far-reaching platform became clear. From this moment of transition, the Africa Foto Fair was born in 2022, shaped by a desire to sustain exchange and creativity even in uncertain times. This virtual magazine extends the original mission by offering educational resources, guidance, and insights aimed at empowering young photographers who aspire to engage with the international market.

Beyond education, Africa Foto Fair also serves as an online gallery, bringing audiences closer to the work of photographers from across the continent. Images available for purchase are printed in Abidjan by Africa Print House and delivered worldwide, maintaining a direct connection between artists and those who appreciate their craft. Through this blend of learning, discovery, and accessibility, Africa Foto Fair strengthens a global community where African photography continues to evolve, inspire, and resonate.
