Each Winter, Jimei x Arles shows 8 exhibitions coming from Rencontres d’Arles alongside 20 Chinese and Asian photography exhibitions. The festival also promotes Chinese talents on an international scale, with its Discovery Award, shown in Arles every year.
It was created in 2015 by Sam Stourdzé, then director of Rencontres d’Arles, and Chinese photographer RongRong, founder of China’s first photography museum, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre (Beijing and Xiamen), with the support of Xiamen’s Jimei District.
