June 29th to September 20th, 2020
at the 18 rue de la Calade — Arles

These are unprecedented times. We have all been impacted but our work continues. Yes we want to open our doors and our arms to invite you to the MROF summer 2020 exhibition    Pioneers.


We strive to open for you, our visitors who numbered 40,000 last year, and for the 23 artists and curators who put their hearts into this program. With our partners, especially ChromaLuxe our grand partner, we join to support those who shine a light on the challenges of our time. And moreover, we strive to open for the people and causes portrayed on our walls.

In Arles, the capital of photography, the MRO Foundation gives voice to men and women who move beyond the boundaries of their own limits, outside society’s established norms of humanity and environment.

In our 600 square meters of exhibition space, socially safe and within all established health guidelines, Pioneers will bring in the resonance of photographers, videographers, sound designers, activists and citizens committed to improving our lives and enlarging our consciousness of the world’s diversity



Curators    Nicolas HAVETTE, Nicole BERTOLT, Lionel CHARRIER, Audrey HOAREAU.
