We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for this.<\/p>\n During the summer of 2027, the non-profit organisation Lens op de Mens \u2013 Fotofestival Pelt, in collaboration with Pelt Town Council and CC Palethe, will be organising the sixth edition of the biennial photography festival \u2018Lens op de Mens\u2019.<\/p>\n For this edition too, we will continue along the same path. Professional and amateur photographers from all over the world are invited to present their finest images to the general public.<\/p>\n The main theme of every edition remains, of course, \u2018people\u2019 in the broadest sense of the word. The sub-theme for 2027 is \u2018Tradition\u2019.<\/p>\n The photography festival opens on Sunday 6 June and closes on Sunday 26 September 2027.<\/p>\n Once again, we are looking beyond our national borders through an international collaboration with IPFA, RPS, the Vizualizator photography festival in Belgrade, F\/262 in Portugal and several international guest photographers.<\/p>\n More details about the 2027 programme will follow later on this site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”tradition” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Sub-theme 2027 title” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”16a54059-cc81-4572-9c70-eda6a6c419bf” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” link_text_color=”#007E37″ header_3_text_color=”#515845″ background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”text” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”16a54059-cc81-4572-9c70-eda6a6c419bf” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” link_text_color=”#007E37″ text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For this 6th edition of Lens op de Mens, we are once again highlighting a sub-theme.

In our definition, the emphasis is on a recurring practice or custom \u2013 one that is defining within a community \u2013 which reinforces (group) identity and says something about how it brings people together. With the sub-theme of \u2018tradition\u2019, in this 6th edition of Lens op de Mens, we aim not only to highlight grand gestures, but to place the emphasis on small, human gestures that connect us and which take shape through tradition, ritual or custom.<\/p>\n Images offering a glimpse into shaped customs, not constructed from a nostalgic reflex or a \u2018things were better in the old days\u2019 mindset, but from the realisation that the past provides us with a deep-rooted foundation on which to shape the present.<\/p>\n Hilde Stevens<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” divider_weight=”10px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”||||false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#515845″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Newsletter title” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”16a54059-cc81-4572-9c70-eda6a6c419bf” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” link_text_color=”#007E37″ header_3_text_color=”#515845″ background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”|30px||30px|false|true” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Newsletter text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”16a54059-cc81-4572-9c70-eda6a6c419bf” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” link_text_color=”#007E37″ header_4_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”|30px||30px|false|true” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Through our newsletters, we will keep you informed about the latest news related to our photo festival.<\/p>\n We attach great importance to your privacy and fully comply with GDPR regulations.

Sub-theme edition 2027: Tradition<\/h3>\n
Tradition<\/h3>\n
It is precisely the unifying aspect of cultural customs that we shall be exploring in the 2027 edition: carnival, fireworks, processions and parades, gatherings and annual festivals, but also the return to special places and locations that may hold significance.<\/p>\nSubscribe to our newsletter<\/h3>\n
