Announcing the 2024 Arab Documentary Photography Program Grantees and Alumni Fellows

The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, the Prince Claus Fund and the Magnum Foundation are pleased to announce the eight photographers selected to participate in the10th cycle of the Arab Documentary Photography Program (ADPP), in addition to the seven ADPP alumni who were selected for the first iteration of the ADPP Alumni Fellowship, in association with For Freedoms, for the year 2024.

Launched in 2014, the Arab Documentary Photography Program (ADPP) has supported over 85 photographers whose creative approaches to visual storytelling challenge conventional narratives about the region. Now entering its tenth year, the program continues to amplify essential stories in the Arab region and beyond. This includes the addition of this year’s new ADPP Alumni Fellowship, which alongside the annual mentorship grants, will offer further second stage support to alumni of the program as part of our commitment to supporting their careers and facilitating further regional and international exchanges.

Congratulations to the selected participants!
