WORLD PRESS PHOTO 17
International professional photojournalism exhibition
29 April - 5 June 2017

World Press Photo 17 Barcelona advances its dates and turns the city into one of the first in the world where the photographs of the prestigious photojournalism prize will be shown.

World Press Photo is considered the most important photojournalism exhibition in the world, both for the quality of the photographs and the debate it generates on the issues it addresses. The exhibition is the result of an international competition organized annually by the foundation of the same name and aimed at fostering a better understanding of the world through high-quality press photography.

Since 2005, as a partner of World Press Photo, Photographic Social Vision has organized the exhibition at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, programming audiovisual content, guided tours, workshops, and lectures alongside the exhibit of the winning images, allowing visitors to experience photojournalism in depth.
