EDITION 2022

Cultural Patterns

22nd October- 20 November 2022

TRACING HUMAN, SPACES and IMAGINATION IN TIME through photography through the lens of urbanism, environmentalism, and wildlife.

Cultural patterns are traces of similar human behavior such as social practices, beliefs and values in relation to spaces and time. Photography allows us to express our ideas, connect to the world, record history,  and see beauty in everyday life. As photographers, we believe it’s very crucial to have a platform that acknowledges, nurtures, and celebrates the artform. 

Dar Foto Festival does so by highlighting photographs that tell stories of human life in the urban, environmental issues and beauty of the wildlife through the eyes of 16 selected photographers from Tanzania and from across East Africa.
