FUJIFILM North America Corp., Electronic Imaging Division, announces FUJIKINA New York 2026, a three-day festival celebrating the art of photography. Taking place Friday, Oct. 16 through Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, FUJIKINA New York will be an immersive photography experience filled with exhibitions, keynote talks, workshops, photo walks, portfolio reviews, and more.
“Photography has shaped New York for nearly 200 years, and at over 90 years in the imaging industry, Fujifilm has been a part of shaping photography for nearly half of that time,” said Victor Ha, vice president and general manager, Electronic Imaging Division and Optical Devices Division, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “In 2022, FUJIKINA became a part of New York’s photo story, too. This October, we’re celebrating it all by bringing a photography festival to the Lower East Side in spaces people already love, alongside the institutions that helped make it into what it is today. If you love photographs, making them or looking at them, this weekend is for you.”
FUJIKINA began as a photo exhibition and festival in Japan in 2017. Year over year, FUJIKINA evolved into larger, more immersive events in Japan, and in 2022, Fujifilm went global, hosting FUJIKINA in New York City in 2022. Subsequent FUJIKINAs were held in Barcelona, Arles, London, and Cologne. In 2026 alone, FUJIKINA events were held in several European cities including Copenhagen, Warsaw, Arles, and Paris (to be held September 2026).
FUJIKINA New York 2026 marks the event’s first time back in New York City in four years. The event is poised to transform the historic Lower East Side into a living gallery space, with seven different venues containing five separate exhibitions. Moving beyond a traditional single-venue format, FUJIKINA unfolds across a walkable cluster of spaces, inviting attendees to wander, discover, and explore the past, present, and future of photography at their own pace.
FUJIKINA’s main anchor will be the International Center of Photography (ICP), one of four photo-centric organizations partnering with Fujifilm on this event. On the eve of FUJIKINA, ICP will open its event, I’m So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now. ICP’s event runs through January 11, 2027, with support provided by Fujifilm.
Other key FUJIKINA partners include Magnum Photos, continuing its longstanding partnership with Fujifilm by presenting a dedicated gallery exhibition presenting Magnum: A World in Color, alongside Three Teens, new work by Magnum photographer Alec Soth; World Press Photo, presenting its 2026 annual exhibition featuring winners from their annual awards competition; and FotoFest: The Meeting Place, offering attendees access to its renowned photo portfolio review program.
For admission to FUJIKINA New York, the $10 festival ticket unlocks keynotes, workshops, photo walks, and festival programming, with limited spots per session. Tickets are on sale now.
