Greetings all +++ 

It is with great joy and anticipation that we announce the dates for the sixth edition of PhotoKTM — please mark your calendars!

PhotoKTM6 

Nov 14th - Dec 14th, 2025

The upcoming edition of PhotoKTM will be a coming together that foregrounds critical south-south solidarities.

The festival invites photographers and other practitioners who engage through the visual medium to develop, showcase and participate in an exhibition program, workshops and symposia, a residency, an incubator program for practitioners from across South Asia, a local arts education program for young people in the city, and various collaborative pop-up events among other core and collateral programming.

PhotoKTM is committed to the visual, to the public, to history as well as to contemporary practice in all its plurality, to artistic, political and ideological expressions and actions that disrupt and resist but also works towards repair, and to creating time and space to come together to describe the world, and discuss the world with shared concern and agency.

What kind of community and collective imagination might such a coming together make possible? What prospects might this ‘we-feeling’ catalyze, despite or perhaps because of its ephemeral nature?

Each edition of PhotoKTM builds on these ideas of assemblage and collectivization. It platforms several collaborative artistic, research and pedagogic initiatives that attempt to feed into on-going local and global conversations and campaigns.

Photo Kathmandu is organized by photo.circle, a platform for photography based in Kathmandu founded in 2007. 

We look forward to seeing you in KTM in 2025!
