PhotoSaintGermain

Every year in November, PhotoSaintGermain brings together a selection of museums, cultural centers, galleries, and bookstores around a rich and eclectic photographic itinerary. The program is created both by the participating galleries and institutions, and by the festival team, through a series of new and original exhibitions.

The festival is rooted in the unique geography of Saint Germain-des-Prés — a neighborhood rich in history and culture — and seeks to bring together all the actors that shape this area. The strong commitment of local galleries and institutions to this event, which has become a major moment of Paris’ “Mois de la Photo,” shows their ability to unite around a shared medium. With the continued support of Parisian institutions and partners, PhotoSaintGermain welcomes an audience from across the Paris region, as well as photography professionals, collectors, and visitors who enjoy exploring galleries and museums.

In echo to the exhibitions, and with the desire to give voice to those who make and think about photography today, PhotoSaintGermain also offers a parallel program of talks, screenings, book signings, and studio visits.
This program brings together artists, curators, collectors, editors, designers, booksellers, critics, and commissioners.
Each of these events explores key trends in contemporary photography and questions the ways it is presented and shared.
