International Photography Festival Organ Vida is a biannual photography festival that takes place in the Museum of Contemporary art in Zagreb, Croatia. The festival gathers international young contemporary artists with the common pursuit to advance the art and practice of contemporary image-based practices, and ignite conversations about critical and global socio-political issues. Our programs include exhibitions, lectures, performances and workshops reflecting on contemporary image production. We are focused on the production and distribution of new artworks and cultural projects, as well on research in the field of contemporary photography and theory.

For this edition of FUTURES, we've nominated four emerging Croatian visual artists: Ivan Buvinić, Matej Jurčević, Lara Varat and Lucija Bogunović. They represent a new generation of makers, all of whom have recently finished their studies in photography and new media. We believe their work approaches a series of relevant themes - themes that reflect important talking points in our social and cultural context.
