The Encuentros Abiertos-Festival de la Luz consist of a huge number of activities that are held in Buenos Aires every two years in connection with international artistic photography. The festival, now in its seventeenth year, is aimed at disseminating contemporary photography, seeking talented up-and-coming artists, confirming the validity of established artists and comparing the various predominant trends in the field of artistic photography.
Organised by the Luz Austral foundation, this year the festival is featuring a retrospective of the work of Humberto Rivas (1937–2009) at the Centro Cultural Recoleta. It brings together 130 photographs and also includes a screening of the short film Unos y Otros (Some and Others) directed and made by Rivas in 1973. AC/E is collaborating on this project through the PICE programme for the internationalisation of Spanish culture.
