Join us for the celebratory opening of Foam Talent 2026

Foam proudly presents Foam Talent 2026. A group exhibition showcasing work of an extraordinary new wave of image-makers shaping the future of photography. This year’s exhibition features 15 exceptional artists, chosen from nearly 3,000 submissions from 107 countries. Together, their practices point towards bold new directions in the medium and a strong commitment to storytelling across a range of narratives, perspectives, and artistic approaches.

The evening also marks the launch of Foam Magazine #68: Talent, featuring the work of this year’s talents.

→ The exhibition will open on Friday 5 June in the presence of the artists. You are warmly invited to join us from 18.30 to 21.00 hrs for this event at Foam.

Last chance:
Visit the exhibition Love Shit until 25 May

The final ten days of the solo exhibition by Verena Blok have begun. The exhibition Love Shit delves into the complexities of womanhood and reproductive justice through a deeply personal yet politically charged lens. Emerging from the artist’s dual experience of her work at a Dutch abortion clinic and her own pregnancy, the project weaves together portrait photographs, close-ups, abstract imagery, scenes of children at play, and fragments of diaries, notes and observations.

Through her exhibition, Blok aims to show motherhood in all its messy, ambivalent, sometimes contradictory and uncomfortable forms.” - NRC

You Don't Look Sick, Self-Portrait No. 3 & No. 5, 2025 © Jasmijn Vermeeren

Last chance:
Visit You Don't Look sick 

From a deeply personal perspective, Vermeeren sheds light on living with an invisible disability. In conversations about diversity and inclusion within society, the position of people with hidden mental and/or physical disabilities often remains underexposed. 

You Don't Look Sick is on view until 25 May.
