Exhibitions for Kids 子ども向け展覧会

During the festival, NTT WEST Sanjo Collaboration Plaza becomes a dedicated photography space for children, featuring two special exhibitions, a photo studio (during Golden Week), and a space for the Kids Workshop Events.

『KODOMOGRAPHIE』

Launching in 2026, KODOMOGRAPHIE is a child-friendly, bite-sized version of the main festival programme. It features selected works by Thandiwe Muriu, Federico Estol, Atsushi Fukushima and Ernest Cole. Take your time, look closely, move around, imagine, and freely explore this exhibition at your own pace and height.

KYOTOGRAPHIE Kids Competition Exhibition 2026
『Looking beyond the EDGE: What will we discover?』

Supported by Petit Bateau

In 2026, the KYOTOGRAPHIE Kids Competition was open to students from grades one to nine, from schools in the Kansai and Kanto areas. Many young photographers demonstrated their talent in capturing pictures of what the EDGE means to them.
We received more than 700 photographs from 14 schools, and 124 from the Petit Bateau Kids Competition. In total, 46 photographs were selected by the jury for this exhibition.
