Celebrate Latin American Photography and Film

Join us for a vibrant cultural experience in Vienna this summer.

Latin American stories told through our own lens

Welcome to Verano Vienés!

More Than a Festival: A Space to Share Who We Are.

Verano Vienés is a festival born from the heartbeat of Latin America, from the need to narrate ourselves as we are: with truth, with dignity, and through our own gaze.

Here, photography and documentary film become visual narratives born from within — a shared language that crosses territories and connects sensibilities. Each image is a gesture that reveals how we live, how we dream, and how we face — from the everyday to the collective — the challenges that shape our lands: climate change, migration, inequality, the defense of rights, and collective memory.

Latin America is a territory of multiple voices, of languages that resist, of communities that create in the midst of adversity, of ordinary stories that reveal extraordinary beauty. Our narratives are not to be translated — they are meant to be felt, heard, and seen. They are woven in daily life, in silent acts, in the caring gaze, in unyielding struggle, and in the dream that persists.

Verano Vienés is a bridge made of images — a meeting space between Latin America and Europe where the gaze becomes a bond and art becomes conversation.

Because our stories do not only matter — they are necessary. Because telling them from within is also a way of existing. Because no one can tell our stories better than we can. And because the image, when it is born from within, becomes language, memory, and encounter.
