Parallel is a European platform that fosters cross-cultural exchange and mentorship in contemporary photography. Challenging and eclectic, the medium now spans diverse aesthetics, technologies, and practices. Parallel unites 18 cultural hubs—museums, galleries, schools, and publishers—from 16 countries to support emerging artists and curators through a two-phase process: Creative Guidance (selection, tutoring, peer learning) and an Exhibition Platform. Designed by Procur.arte and co-funded by Creative Europe, Parallel sparks new ideas, networks, and dialogues across Europe.
