AntwerpPhoto 2018: the start of a beautiful history as a photo biennial!
AntwerpPhoto saw the light of day in June 2018, just before one of the hottest summers of this century. During the festival, the Antwerp Loodswezen building was the place to be for lovers of photography, visual culture and architecture. Around 30.000 people came to Het Eilandje to discover the work of the world-renowned photographer Anton Corbijn, the exceptional photographs of (the now late) Michael Wolf, the Prix Carmignac winner Narciso Contreras and the first edition of Iconobelge. The Loodswezen building shined bright and AntwerpPhoto was there to stay!
