FOTEA was established in 2016 to provide a central point for the support, management and funding of a growing range of photographic projects. These include the Uganda Press Photo Award (operational since 2012), the East African Photography Award, the Young Photographers’ Award and the Emerging Photographer Mentorship Programme. Alongside this FOTEA also organises photography and video workshops, portfolio reviews, public discussions, exhibitions and film screenings. Through this work we are committed to building a networked photographic community in East Africa.
Outside of the UPPA, FOTEA focuses on visual education and works with students and early-career professionals, engaging them as partners, encouraging them to look beyond the boundaries of the established media ecosystem and to develop ideas and approaches which address issues they’re passionate about, through photography.
We believe that our collaborators have the right to shape and diversify the narratives of their societies, countries and continent, and that by equipping them with the tools to critically engage with the wider world we help them to build better futures. We also firmly believe in the downstream benefits of visual literacy and the essential nature of good visual education. People who can’t read images will always struggle to engage critically with them, and good journalism is as much about how it’s read as how it’s written.
We are passionate about collaborations and are always looking for new partners from around and outside of the African continent.
