Leipzig Photobook Festival Explores Power and Fragility Theme in March 2025

The Leipzig Photobook Festival returns on March 7-8, 2025, at HALLE 14 – Centre for Contemporary Art in Leipzig, Germany, with the theme 'Power/Fragility.' Festival director Calin Kruse and artistic co-director Jenny Starick developed the concept to examine resistance to authority through contrasting forces. Featured artists include Arko Datto, presenting documentary work on climate change impacts in the Sundarbans, and Lina Scheynius, showing personal images often censored on Instagram. The program includes exhibitions, panels, workshops, and a photobook fair, with additional presentations by Linda Zhengova, Antoine d'Agata, and Nikita Teryoshin. The event is free and emphasizes anti-hierarchical approaches, showcasing international photobooks and alternative narratives.
