Behind Xposure 2026: Building a Decade of Visual Storytelling with Sumaya Al Arif

In this episode, we speak with Sumaya Al Arif, one of the organisers behind Xposure International Photography Festival 2026. Marking its 10th edition, Xposure has grown into a major international platform for photography, film, and visual culture. Sumaya takes us behind the scenes of this year’s festival, from shaping the programme and managing a multi layered event to supporting artists, storytellers, and emerging talent. We talk about the vision behind A Decade of Visual Storytelling, the challenges of producing a festival at this scale, and what it takes to turn creative ideas into a living, public experience.
