The Fujikina photography festival returned to New York City’s Lower East Side in October 2026, marking its first New York edition in four years. The event was organized to commemorate the 200th anniversary of photography.

Designed as a “living gallery space,” the festival utilized eight different venues, including the International Center of Photography and local subway stations. The program featured exhibitions, workshops, and portfolio reviews. A central theme of the festival was the defense of human creativity and tangible connection in response to the rise of generative artificial intelligence.

Notable exhibitions included Magnum Photos’ “A World in Color,” which presented a digitized color archive, and Carol Guzy’s World Press Photo winning images. Other featured works included visual investigations by Laia Abril and photography by Cristina De Middel.
