Now in its 17th edition, the biannual Foam Talent Programme continues to make waves by introducing a new selection of outstanding image-makers from across the globe. Continuously growing in reach, this year our open call received another record-breaking 2,892 entries from 107 countries, giving Foam’s artistic team unique insights into the currents shaping today’s photographic landscape. In this issue of Foam Magazine we introduce the 30 Foam Talents and Foam Talent Runners-up. Together, these 30 artists represent new directions in photography with an emphasis on work that challenges conventions and reflects the complexity of contemporary experience.
