A highly anticipated 14th edition
Supporting the photography scene, and in particular young emerging artists, has long been one of WhiteWall's commitments. Consequently, we are delighted to be supporting the Circulation(s) festival for the 3rd year running, which will be held in Paris from April 6 until June 2, 2024.
With its demanding selection and bold program, Circulation(s), organized by the Fetart collective, has established itself as one of the major events on the European photography scene. Combining exhibitions, workshops, portfolio readings and encounters with artists in the same fashionable artistic venue in the heart of Paris, Circulation(s) has the singularity of offering a varied, innovative and high-quality program, aimed at all photography enthusiasts and beyond. Eager to discover young talent and reveal new trends, Circulation(s)'s artistic committee, made up of 10 professional curators, receives over 1,000 applications each year from international artists wishing to present their work, which are carefully reviewed by the jury to finally retain only around thirty artists per edition. Throughout the festival, visitors will have the opportunity to choose their favorite artist. The winner of this year's Audience Award will be awarded a WhiteWall prize of €500.00.
The 14th edition of the festival features twenty-four artists of fourteen different nationalities, offering an open artistic vision that questions the boundaries between photography and contemporary art. This year's focus, for which WhiteWall has produced almost all the works, is dedicated to the Ukraine. The curator of the exhibition will be joined by a WhiteWall expert during the professional weekend on April 27 and 28, 2024.
We invite you to discover the full program of exhibitions, activities and workshops on the Circulation(s) program.
Circulation(s) - Festival for Young European Photography

Ukrainian artists in the spotlight this year
Every year, Circulation(s) spotlights a particular artistic scene, inviting young artists from that region to present their work. After exploring the Romanian, Portuguese, Belarusian, Armenian and Bulgarian photographic scenes, this year's focus is on the Ukraine. For the third year running, WhiteWall is supporting the focus by producing works from the various series on show.
Russia's invasion of Ukrainian territory and the war that ensued strongly influence the series presented by the four artists. Yet each offers a very different interpretation. Maryna Brodovska, who had to hide for several days at the start of the conflict, recounts the refuge she found deep inside herself during this experience. Lisa Bukreyeva collects and reworks images of everyday Ukrainian life to combat invisibilization and oblivion. Yevheniia Laptii stages a dystopian tale that sadly became reality with the arrival of Russian tanks. Finally, Dima Tolkachov explores the consequences and indirect symptoms of war through visual metaphors.
Exhibition produced by WhiteWall
As a partner of the Circulation(s) festival, WhiteWall has produced almost all the works in the exhibition dedicated to the Ukrainian art scene.
