Carine Dolek

Carine Dolek is a co-founder of the “Circulation(s)” festival, dedicated to emerging European photography, and a part of the Fetart collective that curates and directs the event. In 2015, she was awarded the Young Curator Award at the Photolux festival in Lucca, Italy, for the exhibition “The Poems.”

From 2014 to 2016, she directed the Paris gallery “Le Petit Espace,” a venue created to present demanding and experimental works.

Her curatorial work has also extended internationally. In 2019–2020, she co-produced “Sourtna, Moroccan Photographers of Today and Tomorrow,” the inaugural exhibition of Morocco’s first national museum of photography in Rabat, as well as a solo exhibition in San Diego. During the confinement, she developed virtual adaptations of “Sourtna” and other projects for the Georgian festival “Kolga Tbilisi Photo,” and supported initiatives in Morocco encouraging photographic creation and documentation. In 2022, she further developed “Sourtna” with exhibitions at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington.

Since 2022, she has been coordinating exhibitions and residencies at “Valimage / La Maison Ligérienne de l’Image” in Tavers, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. There she curates programs dedicated to books and publications, still and moving images, Franco-German residencies, and projects linking video and biodiversity. In 2024, she launched the “SUPERPAUSE” festival.
