For the first time, PHotoESPAÑA and the programme entitled Transculture: Integrating Cuba, the Caribbean and the European Union through Culture and Creativity, financed by the European Union and implemented by the Regional UNESCO Office in Havana, is offering fifteen young photographers from the Caribbean between the ages of 18 and 25 the opportunity to participate in a training programme designed specifically for them and to present their photographic projects to prominent curators, publishers, heads of cultural centres and other stakeholders in the industry.

The photographers chosen represent Caribbean countries like Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, Dominica, Granada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, the Dominican Republic, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Santa Lucía, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.

Through this joint action on behalf of cultural exchange and cooperation, UNESCO’s Transculture  programme is supporting the international visibility of the artists chosen through different activities, like portfolio viewings, tours through artists’ studios and cultural centres in Spain, attendance at press conferences, presentations and openings of the exhibitions included in PHotoESPAÑA’s 2024 programme, and in-person and online training workshops custom-designed for the photographers from the Caribbean,  thus giving them new tools and professional connections to help them to develop and expand their careers.
