SCAN, the Tarragona photography contest
SCAN offers the public an interesting and complete programme of exhibitions, screenings, conferences and workshops.
This year, SCAN celebrates its eleventh year with a reflection on the theme of cities, or Urbs.
The SCAN Tarragona International Photography Festival is coming back for its eleventh year with a line-up that cements the city of Tarragona as one of the most important hotspots for contemporary photography in the Mediterranean. Some 50 activities are planned for the festival, involving some 100 artists and photographers who will take over some of Tarragona's most important cultural venues over the course of two months.
The central theme of this year's event is Urbs, an in-depth examination of cities and their challenges in the modern age. SCAN invites you to explore the complexities of urban growth and its implications, in a context in which two-thirds of the world's population is expected to live in cities by the end of the 21st century. The festival opens a window onto the many facets of this phenomenon —social, historical, cultural, urban and others— and challenges us to rethink the role of cities in the society of the future.
