10:10 Open Call
10:10 Open Call

Photo: presents 10:10, an online workshop and collaborative platform. We invite photographers working across the African continent to submit projects engaging with land. We are seeking photography practices that engage with extractivism, land and memory, belonging, lineage and history. We are interested in work that addresses land as a political and cultural question—exploring land rights, representation, displacement, and contested claims—rather than landscape photography as a genre.

Applications open: 01 November 2025
Deadline:  18 November 2025
