About

Photography has the power to effect and reflect social change. By building an inclusive grassroots network in Wales with an international impact, we will be at the heart of a welcoming, creative community engaged in contemporary conversations about photography’s role in shaping a more equitable and sustainable world.

Our Values

CREATIVITY / CREADIGRWYDD

Photography and artistic practice reflect and shape our society, our histories and culture. We value the importance of visual literacy in helping us to see, to question and to better understand ourselves, each other and the world we live in.

COMMUNITY / CYMUNED

We bring people and partners together to share ideas, to support each other and celebrate our collective passion for photography. Through active collaboration we can help build a stronger, more equal society.

CARE / CAREDIGRWYDD

Care shapes everything we do. We value empathy and kindness in our workplace, and in the way our work relates to our audiences, partners and collaborators. And what matters for people, also extends to the planet we inhabit, and how we care for it for future generations.

CYMRU

This is our home, our cynefin, our inspiration. The stories that shaped it, and the people and communities who are building its future. This is the platform from where we look out to and engage with the world.

Our Mission

Ffotogallery’s mission is to work with photographers, artists, audiences and partners to;

• Inspire engagement with and understanding of photography in Wales and the wider world.

• Support career development of emerging and established photographers and multidisciplinary artists.

• Amplify opportunities for those who have been traditionally underrepresented or face barriers accessing the arts.

• Embrace the power of visual storytelling to address the challenges of our time. 

• Place social justice and well-being at the heart of everything we do.
