Foam Talent 2026

Foam proudly presents the Foam Talent 2026. A group exhibition showcasing work of an extraordinary new wave of image-makers shaping the future of photography. This year’s exhibition features the work of 15 extraordinary artists, chosen from nearly 3,000 submissions from 107 countries. Through the use of powerful visual language, their works often connect to a notion of belonging; the search for a safe space, whether found within the home, family, community, or a sense of place, is an underlying thread that surfaces in different ways. From intimate portraits to sweeping visual narratives, each piece invites you to see the world through a new lens. Alongside the Foam Talent group exhibition in Amsterdam, the selected artists’ work will be presented across multiple Foam platforms, offering international visibility: through a travelling presentation at the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation in Frankfurt, a dedicated issue of Foam Magazine, and features on our digital platform. The selected artists for Foam Talent 2026: Sean Cham, Yiding Chen, Sara De Brito Faustino, Liubov Durakova, Nad E Ali, Nazanin Hafez, Paola Jimenez, Ramona, Jingru Wang, Daniel Mebarek, Ali Monis Naqvi, Alvin Ng, Adam Rouhana, Ammar Yassir, Farren van Wyk, Sasha Velichko.
