Global Visions FotoFest at 40

The Biennial 2026, Global Visions – FotoFest at 40, marks four decades of photographic arts and education programming in Houston, Texas. It presents key works and themes from the 20 previous biennials between 1986 and 2024, with more than 450 artists from the United States and 58 countries represented.

Curated by FotoFest co-founder and former artistic director Wendy Watriss and FotoFest executive director Steven Evans, with co-curators Annick Dekiouk and Madi Murphy, the Biennial 2026 reconstitutes the exhibitions and citywide photo and mixed-media presentations that have defined FotoFest’s history. Photographs from past biennials span themes of geography, identity, war, ecology, and social change, demonstrating FotoFest’s global reach and impact.
