FOTOZOFIO is an online art project dedicated to photography and video that promotes the senior generation. Artists aged over 50 are invited - via calls for projects - to share photos and videos recounting their personal experiences and memories.
Their work is archived on the FOTOZOFIO website, with the aim of passing on experiences, ideas and reflections to future generations.
On the occasion of its first exhibition abroad, FOTOZOFIO OFFLINE 2023 ARLES is offering a screening of works as well as public sessions to show your own work (Portfolio Review) to professional curators.
