2010 Anna Lundgren and Idit Margulis had the idea of creating spaces for exhibitions and a platform for local Uppsala photographers to meet with nationally acclaimed and internationally well-known photographers. The first Uppsala Fotofestival took place already in September 2011 after 12 months of hectic planning, a steep learning curve and with the help of some incredible friends. The support we received from Uppsala Photographic Association (Uppsala Fotografiska Sällskap) and Studiefrämjandet gave us some pondus in the Uppsala cultural life arena which was bubbling in the beginning of the previous decade. Since then, Uppsala Fotofestival has been regularly supported by Uppsala Kommun, and we are proud members of the exclusive club of World Class Uppsala.
The festival is curated, organised, and produced by the festival directors. A core group of festival workers conceive, develop, and realise activities, partnerships, facilities, marketing, web, and other areas that are needed for the festival to come to life. Every hand counts! Volunteer
In addition, a large group of festival volunteers assures you are well received when you come to listen to a lecture or visit one of our many exhibitions. Our volunteers also build ‘The Board’, arrange flowers and tables for the VIP party and so much more.
Uppsala Fotofestival is organized by Uppsala Fotofestival association (Uppsala FotoFestival Förening), which is a non-profit organization that promotes photography and photographic art in Uppsala. We strive to make photography accessible for many, and for exhibitions to become a part of the lives of amateur photographers as much as professionals here in our city. We provide contacts; a world-wide network of internationally-awarded photographers and our wonderful sponsors to photographers and other institutions. We also initiate collaborations between different education establishments and other partners revolving around photography.
Ella is a graphic designer, art director and a UX/UI designer with a vast experience in branding, user experience and interface design for different products and platforms. She has a B.Sc in Design. Ella is the newest member of the directors group since she joined at the end of 2019.
