Photo Tanger 2026 — International Image Festival

Photo Tanger celebrates its very first edition in 2026 as a major international festival devoted to the image and photography in Tangier. It opened at the Galerie Mohamed Drissi and runs until 31 August 2026.

Under the theme “L'Appel du large”, the programme brings together photography exhibitions, screenings, talks, cultural events and workshops spread across different venues in the city. All summer long, Tangier becomes a cultural trail through galleries, museums, cultural centres and public spaces.

Announced participating venues: Galerie Mohamed Drissi, Villa Harris, Palais des Arts et de la Culture, Institut Français de Tanger, Instituto Cervantes de Tánger, Cinéma Alcazar, Tanja Marina Bay, the Fondation pour la photographie, the Librairie des Colonnes and Les Insolites.

Exhibitions and highlights to look out for: “L'Appel du large”, “Tanger, pourquoi Tanger ?”, “Waiting for Magellan”, “El Mar que Somos”, “Regards des photographes marocains du monde” and “Slow Up – Ralentir”.

Before you go: the programme is spread over several venues and some exhibitions may keep different opening hours. Check the updated programme before you travel. We do not claim that every activity is free — that varies by venue and is not confirmed overall.
