The PhotoArtDoc festival was organized by the Belarusian Independent Association of Photographers, with the European Humanities University as its social partner. In 2024, more than 500 people participated in the mentoring, educational, and competition programs of the festival, which covered over 40 countries. According to the organizers, the projects of competition winners are now available on the festival’s website, photoartdoc.com, with information in three languages.
In 2025, the PhotoArtDoc project is set to continue. Some authors will be invited to participate in other exhibition projects, and a series of presentations is planned to introduce the international community to new names and projects from Belarusian photographers.
