2026 MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas<\/h2>\n\n

Once again this year, Italy’s first and most important fair dedicated to contemporary art photography, MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas<\/strong>, returns to Superstudio Pi\u00f9 from 19 to 22 March 2026. Founded in 2011 by Fabio Castelli as MIA \u2013 Milan Image Art Fair, the event has evolved over the years, becoming part of Fiere di Parma in 2022, while since 2025, with BNL BNP Paribas joining as title sponsor, it has strengthened its international profile and its support for contemporary visual culture.<\/p>\n\n

The fair combines collecting, experimentation, and artistic research through an exhibition program divided into individual or group exhibitions, curatorial projects, and thematic sections. It is a true cultural platform<\/strong> that aims to promote art photography as a contemporary artistic language. It is a comprehensive journey that aims to establish a dialogue with all the visual arts and to involve galleries, artists, curators, and collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are ideas that change things <\/em>And there are gazes capable of transforming them into imagesTo those who observe with curiosity, to those who experiment,to those who are seeking their own voice: this is the time to show yourself<\/em><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

This year marks the launch of the Superstudio Photo Award<\/strong>, born from the collaboration between MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas and Superstudio Events, with FUJIFILM as Sponsor. An invitation for those who see the world through different eyes<\/strong>, giving a voice to young photographers and students seeking their own path, a language, a vision. <\/p>\n\n

For 2026, the theme will be “Metamorphosis, from Garment to Skin: differently ME”<\/strong>, an exploration of change, vulnerability, and the strength that comes from expressing oneself without filters. A personal journey of self-transformation and identity redefinition through imagery.<\/p>\n\n

The 10 finalists selected by the jury will have the opportunity to exhibit their work free of charge in the award exhibition, which will take place during the opening days of MIA Photo Fair BNP Paribas, from March 19 to 22, 2026. At the end of the event, visitors and the jury will select one of the finalists who will have the opportunity to take part in a personalized professional photo shoot organized by the Superstudio Set e E-Photo team<\/strong> at the Superstudio 13<\/strong> studios in Via Forcella, Milan.
