December 2025 Opportunities: Open Calls, Residencies, and Grants for Artists
"Featured Rotterdam Photo invites photographers worldwide to explore how war and collective trauma resonate in the artist's inner world. 'Echoes of Silence' asks: What happens when artists are not eyewitnesses to conflict but still carry its emotional legacy? How does violence linger in memory-not as an image, but as a feeling, a silence, a sound within? This edition focuses on photographers who use their lens not as a tool for documentation, but as a mirror reflecting the unseen impact of war, displacement, and survival."
