The international photography trade fair held each year in November bringing together more than 100 galleries and publishers from all over the world. Each year the fair also focuses on the photographic practices of a specific country or region, this year spotlighting Arab and Iranian photography. Organized by the director of Documenta X, Catherine David, the segment features eight galleries and emerging artists from the region, along with a selection of rare studio photographs from the archive of the Arab Image Foundation in Beirut, and video works from the region.
