Photography in the public eye
F/262 is more than a photography festival — it’s a public stage for contemporary image-makers to share work that sparks conversation. Our exhibitions bring together emerging and established photographers from Portugal and beyond, in both indoor and outdoor settings across Caldas da Rainha.
We believe photography belongs in the streets, in institutions, in unconventional spaces — and in dialogue with the community.
F/262 showcases a curated selection of contemporary photography in traditional and unconventional spaces across Caldas da Rainha. Our goal is to bring powerful, honest work into the streets, galleries, and places people live and move through.
The exhibitions reflect the themes of the festival and explore photography as a tool for connection, resistance, and reflection.
We feature:
Solo and group exhibitions
Site-specific and outdoor installations
Work selected through invitation and open call
All exhibitions are free and open to the public.
