Amina Kadous Selected for Joop Swart Masterclass by World Press Photo
May 27, 2025
Egyptian visual artist Amina Kadous has been selected as one of 13 participants in the 2025 edition of the Joop Swart Masterclass, the flagship educational initiative of the World Press Photo Foundation. The programme, now in its second year with a specific focus on the Middle East and North Africa region, is supported by the Porticus Foundation and aims to nurture promising talent in photojournalism and visual storytelling.
Kadous will join other selected photographers in a six-month journey that includes remote mentoring, an intensive workshop in Amsterdam in November, and a series of public presentations in each participant's home region. The 2025 masterclass targets visual artists with five to 10 years of professional experience, providing them with personalised feedback, guidance from seasoned mentors, and exposure to global networks in the field of documentary photography.
Known for her deeply personal yet politically resonant projects, Kadous often weaves archival materials with contemporary imagery to question the permanence of identity and the ways history is constructed. Her inclusion in the programme reflects her growing international recognition, having recently been nominated for prestigious awards such as the Madame Figaro Photography Award.
