To Share will be the theme of Getxophoto’s 15th anniversary, aiming to create and use non-conventional installations in physical and digital spaces.

The Festival invite artists from all over the world to participate in this call with proposals that use photography, video, installation, performance, actions, digital art or any other means of visual expression.
