The Asturias International Photojournalism Festival is gearing up

From 20 September to 20 October, Asturias will be filled with images, stories and perspectives that will invite us to gain a better understanding of reality.

Our director, the photographer Álex Zapico, took part last Wednesday, 17 June, in a discussion at the Ateneo de Gijón, during which he emphasised the importance of positioning Asturias within the national and international circuit of photography, visual journalism and contemporary culture festivals.

During the discussion, he noted that this year’s edition — which will take place from 20 September to 20 October — will bring together lovers of documentary photography and visual journalism, and will offer the chance to gain an insight into the experiences of those who risk their lives to transform reality into images.
