From May 14 to 17, 2026, the Light Leaks Festival returns to Rotondes for its 10th edition, a special milestone that invites both celebration and reflection.
Since its creation in 2016, the festival has followed an evolving path. What began as a platform dedicated to urban photography has gradually expanded to embrace documentary practices and more experimental approaches that question the nature of the photographic medium itself.
Over the years, Light Leaks has welcomed outstanding international photographers whose presence has left lasting memories and meaningful insights, helping to inspire a new generation of image-makers. Each May, this gathering continues to nurture dialogue, curiosity and creative exchange.
From the beginning, the public has been at the heart of the festival. Visitors are invited not only to experience exhibitions, but also to actively engage through workshops, talks, portfolio reviews, and direct encounters with the invited artists.
This anniversary edition remains true to that spirit, bringing together a new selection of compelling voices navigating between boldness, reflection and sensitivity. In urban and documentary photography, there is room for countless ways of seeing, from storytelling rooted in reality to critical explorations of the image itself.
