9th Edition of PRAGUE PHOTO FESTIVAL 2016 As every year in April Prague comes alive with photography. The PRAGUE PHOTO will introduce 30 exhibitors from the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, USA, Saudi Arabia and Russia. In Kafka’s House a vast array of individual photographers, galleries and institutions dealing with photography will be introduced. The original photographs of almost 180 photographers – the contemporary ones as well as the classics - will be presented. Collections of auteur photography will be introduced by institutions Artinbox Gallery, Dolmen Gallery, The Chemistry Gallery, IndigoSpace, Galerie Gambit, and others. Very popular are pop-up presentations - this year e.g. Magdalena Blahova, Tomas Paulus, Antonio Cossa, Robert Carrithers. Traditionally PRAGUE PHOTO will bring a great number of representatives of the youngest generation of photographers – students and graduates of vocational schools (Institute of Creative Photography, Silasian University in Opava, University of West Bohemia Pilsen, J. E. Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem, secondary and higher vocational schools Michael, Hellichova and Orange Factory). As in previous years, this year’s festival includes a rich collection of accompanying program (presentations of professional publications, meetings with authors, screenings and presentation of various programmes of photography). The already 9th edition of PRAGUE PHOTO FESTIVAL serves as proof that the event meets with long-term interest of large public, professional audience, as well as photographers themselves. For the organizers the ever growing interest is a great motivation for the years to come.
