In 2002, with the help of the Luma Foundation, the Festival des Rencontres d’Arles created an Award to encourage artists. In 10 years, more than 50 nominators have come to present their promising artists, promoting diversity.
This year’s 42nd Rencontres honors 10 years of distinctive awards, presenting the works of 28 prize winners during a projection at the grande Halle des Ateliers SNCF.
