Jimei × Arles Photo Festival bridges global visions through lens and dialogue

The 11th edition of the Jimei × Arles International Photo Festival is set to open in Xiamen, Fujian province, on Nov 29, running through Jan 4, presenting more than 25 exhibitions that celebrate the diversity and vitality of contemporary photography and moving image art.

As Asia's premier annual photography event, Jimei × Arles stands as the only cultural platform in China in long-term collaboration with Les Rencontres d'Arles, the world-renowned photography festival in France. Since its founding in 2015, the festival has evolved into a vibrant bridge for international artistic exchange—showcasing innovative visual practices from around the world while bringing Chinese photographers to global attention.
