Global Photography Conference "Vision & Voices 2025" to Take Place in Latvia
On August 29-30, 2025, globally renowned photographers, visual arts professionals, and creative industry leaders will gather in Latvia for the international photography conference and open-air workshop "Vision & Voices 2025: Photography for a Connected World".
The event will be held in the historic seaside city of Liepaja, which is set to become a European Capital of Culture in 2027. The conference will focus on photography's role in today's rapidly changing world and the evolving mission of photographers, explored through discussions and hands-on masterclasses.
The event is organized by the association Viena Diena.lv, which has been advancing photography in Latvia as both an art form and a means of communication for many years.
"Vision & Voices 2025 is a unique platform where world-class photographers, visual artists, and creative professionals come together. This conference is not only about photography as an art form-it's about the exchange of ideas, shared understanding, and shaping a common future in visual culture. We are proud that Latvia and Liepaja will serve as a center for this international dialogue," said Viesturs Koziols, head of Viena Diena.lv.
The lineup of speakers includes world-famous photojournalist David Burnett, who has documented historic events over five decades, along with other internationally acclaimed professionals such as Giuliano Compagno, Dario Vereb, and Alessandro Gruzza. Leading figures in Latvian contemporary photography, Alnis Stakle, and Baiba Tetere, will also take part.
"What makes a good photograph truly special? Photography is a language without words. It either speaks to you-it makes you react-or it doesn't. If you need to explain why a photo is great, maybe it isn't. The best photos need no explanation," says David Burnett in his invitation to the conference.
Giuliano Compagno adds: "I'm thrilled to be heading to Latvia to share my experience. Inspired by the renowned Latvian poet and thinker Imants Ziedonis, I will draw parallels with the spiritual journeys of other great minds from around the world."
The first day of the conference will take place at one of Latvia's most modern cultural venues-Lielais Dzintars concert hall. On the second day, participants will explore the urban environment of Liepaja in a city photo walk and attend practical workshops at Kursa, led by the event's guest speakers. This will be a chance to discover lesser-known corners of Liepaja and experiment with new approaches to photography.
The main partners of the event are Balcia, an insurance and technology company, and Liepaja 2027, the foundation responsible for the city's European Capital of Culture program.
Organizers invite photographers, art students, cultural sector professionals, journalists, and anyone interested in visual culture and photography to participate.
Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required at www.vienadiena.lv [http://www.vienadiena.lv/] as places are limited.
