The Month of Photography is coming to Nice’s Gare du Sud with its 2024 edition. Accessible every day during the month of June, discover the exhibition at the Mediterraneo.
Organized to make the Niçoise territory accessible and attractive to international street and documentary photographers, this event promises to be a great visual and artistic celebration. The call for applications met with great success, receiving over one hundred submissions from more than thirty-five countries. Under the initiative of Ximena Echagüe, a renowned and internationally published Belgian-Argentine photographer, the project “La Vie en Bleu” took shape thanks to the administration of Gandiva MediArts.
The jury, composed of photographers Valérie Six Louis and Tarek Zaïgouche, carefully deliberated to choose the winners. After a meticulous analysis, they selected a winner and awarded two honorable mentions. It was Komal Bedi Sohal, a talented Indian photographer, who was chosen as the laureate of this edition. Her works are exhibited alongside a selection of other works by artists such as Daniel Ramos and François de Sacy, as well as fifteen other international finalists.
