Projects of the Argia photography collective

The Argia Collective designs and runs artistic, cultural and social photographic projects, rooted in the Basque Country and open to the world.

Through exhibitions, talks, workshops and collaborations, the collective offers spaces for exchange and expression, where photography becomes a language to show the world and bring perspectives together.

Each project opens a dialogue between images, places and audiences, celebrating the uniqueness of each perspective and each story.

Argia's projects

Argia is built as a space for collaboration, bringing together photography enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike, driven by the same desire: to tell the story of the world and bring perspectives together. The name Argia, which means «light» in Basque, reflects this wish to shed light on new perspectives and to encourage dialogue between artists and audiences.
