Exhibition 2—Lineage

May 15—18, 2025
Paris
The stories we inherit. The echoes of ancestry that shape who we are. How do we see ourselves reflected in those who came before us? Lineage extends beyond direct descent, carried through the ways ideas, traditions, and artistic expressions evolve over time, passed from one to another, forming an unbroken continuum of influence and inheritance.

Primary Paper invites contributors to explore the connections that define our existence, our kinship, and the threads that bind us across generations, cultures, and chosen families.

Exhibition 1—ECHO

July 11—14, 2024
London
In close parallel. Exploring the synergy between human experiences and artistic expression. How does it feel to see oneself reflected in someone else’s story? When inner experiences and personal reflections often return to us in altered forms, they are enriched by new contexts and understandings. Finding a sense of continuity, a thread, a connection.

For our debut exhibition, we invited twelve photographers to offer personal reflections on place and identity. The individuality of each portrait echoes the diversity of experiences, creating a larger, interconnected narrative of humanity.
