Welcome to Verano Vienés!
More than a festival: a space to share who we are.
Verano Vienés was born from the heartbeat of Latin America, from the need to tell our stories as they are: with truth, with dignity, and with our own gaze.
Here, photography and documentary film are visual narratives that emerge 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—both in the everyday and the collective—the challenges that shape our lands: climate change, migration, inequality, the defense of rights, and memory.
Latin America is a territory of multiple voices, of languages that endure, of communities that create amid adversity, of ordinary stories that reveal extraordinary beauty. Our narratives are not translated: they are felt, heard, and seen. They are woven into daily life, into silent acts, into the caring gaze, into the struggles that persist, and into the dreams that refuse to fade.
Verano Vienés is a bridge built of images—a meeting place between Latin America and Europe where vision becomes connection and art becomes dialogue.
Because our stories 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 when the image is born from within, it becomes language, memory, and encounter.

About Us
Director and Founder
Eloina Viveros Galván, a Mexican photographer and cultural manager, is currently studying Geography, Global Change, and Sustainability in Vienna, Austria. In Mexico, she worked as a legal advisor for refugees and migrants at a non-governmental organisation and founded the civil association Distancia Focal, as well as the International Photography Festival of the same name.
Convinced that images hold the power of transformation, dialogue, and understanding, this belief led her to create Verano Vienés, an independent space that seeks to build bridges between continents through photography and documentary film.
