Rotterdam Photo builds its festival out of shipping containers in the middle of the city during Rotterdam Art Week, which puts selected photographers in front of more than ten thousand visitors as well as collectors, curators, gallerists and press. Selected artists get a dedicated container space, can sell work with no commission taken by the festival, and are included in the official programme and publications, with talks and networking events around the exhibition. The 2027 theme, «Vibrance – The Pulse of a Living World», asks for work on energy in its many forms, from the intimate to the collective.
