This fall at Foam

While summer is in full swing, we're already looking ahead. Behind the scenes, the team at Foam is hard at work preparing an inspiring autumn season. This fall, discover major exhibitions by acclaimed photographers Nadav Kander, Hailun Ma, Keerthana Kunnath, and Myriam Boulos. We're also happy to announce a special collaboration with Middle East Archive: a two-part exhibition project at MAQAM and Mercatorplein, based on the latest Middle East Archive publication, Al Nisa / Women. Stay tuned for more updates and join us this autumn for a season of compelling exhibitions, conversations, and new discoveries at Foam.

The extraordinary ordinary
A communal dinner with Salon Vin Naturel and Stacks Diner


Inspired by Martin Parr’s fascination with everyday rituals and pleasures, Foam and Salon Vin Naturel invite guests to gather around the table for an evening celebrating the beauty and nostalgia in the ordinary. Bring a bottle of wine to share and join a communal dinner inspired by familiar comfort food and everyday favourites, prepared by Stacks Diner. Through food, wine, a tour and conversation, we explore how shared experiences over “the ordinary” can reveal unexpected value in the things we often take for granted.

→ Join us for dinner on Friday 7 August at 18.00 hrs at Foam.

Foam Talent 2026 x MPB

Foam and MPB join forces to spotlight the technical possibilities of photography through a series of activations around the Foam Talent programme. Over the coming months, Foam and MPB will present exclusive Studio Visits with the Foam Talents, reflecting on their artistic practice and the technical side of their work.

Alongside this series, Foam and MPB are creating an exclusive guide highlighting five distinct cameras that represent the pinnacle of different photographic eras and styles. The guide will be released in August 2026. Stay tuned for more!
