Jakarta International Photo Festival
From 11 to 20 September 2026, Taman Ismail Marzuki in the heart of Jakarta will become a meeting place for images, ideas, and stories from around the world.
The Jakarta International Photo Festival, or JIPFest, returns with its sixth edition under the theme “Resilience.” Through photography and visual storytelling, the festival explores humanity’s ability to endure, adapt, resist, recover, and continue dreaming.
Resilience can be found in communities rebuilding after disaster, in people confronting injustice, and in traditions that survive across generations. It is expressed not only through stories of struggle, but also through solidarity, restoration, and the determination to create a better future.
Curated by Chelsea Chua and Yoppy Pieter, JIPFest 2026 brings together photographers, artists, and visual storytellers through exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, portfolio reviews, public lectures, discussions, Projection Night, and the community-oriented Fringe program.
The festival will also welcome the Indonesia Photo Fair from 18 to 20 September, offering photographers and visual artists a space to exhibit and sell photographic prints and books.
More than a celebration of photography, JIPFest is a space for encounter and reflection, where images connect personal experiences with larger social questions, and where stories of survival become visions of possibility.
