Visa pour l'Image festival in Perpignan tackles AI misinformation
The 38th edition of the international photojournalism festival, Visa pour l'Image, is being held in Perpignan, France, from August 29 to September 13, 2026. This edition coincides with the 200th anniversary of photography.
A central theme of the festival is the fight against misinformation caused by artificial intelligence. Organizers are highlighting the need for rigorous fact-checking to combat the circulation of manipulated images, citing a previous incident involving a fake photograph of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a warning of the industry's vulnerability.
The program includes 27 exhibitions and six evening projections. Notable highlights include a retrospective of photographer Raymond Depardon at the église des Dominicains and works covering diverse global issues, ranging from environmental concerns to social conflicts.
