The Centro Cultural Recoleta opens its doors to the World Press Photo 2025 exhibition, one of the most renowned photojournalism exhibitions in the world. From September 20 to October 12, you will be able to visit, free of charge, a selection of 150 images that reflect the social, political and environmental events that have marked the world.
World Press Photo 2025 arrives at Centro Cultural Recoleta: the best of photojournalism with free entry
The 2025 edition received a record of almost 60 thousand photographs, sent by 3,700 professionals from 114 countries. The chosen works invite you to think from war conflicts and forced displacements to climate emergency and the struggle for human rights. The tour of World Press Photo in Buenos Aires offers an experience that oscillates between war and the tenderness of portraits that speak of resilience, migration routes or environmental devastation.
Outstanding works of the 2025 edition
The exhibition is distributed in rooms 13 and 14 of the Recoleta Cultural Center and is organized by regions of the world. These are some of the pieces you can’t miss:
Droughts in the Amazon by Musuk Nolte (Peru): reflects the effects of the climate crisis in Brazil through the image of a young man walking on a dry riverbed to bring food to his family.
Caminos de esperanza desesperada by Federico Ríos (Colombia): documents the journey of migrants crossing the Darien Strait, a route used by more than one million people since 2021 in search of a possible future.
Botafogo by André Coelho (Brazil): portrays the historic celebration of the fans after the club’s first Copa Libertadores, condensed into an anonymous embrace.
In addition, the work of Palestinian photographer Samar Abu Elouf is exhibited, along with other views that complete the diversity of the exhibition.
