FOKU is a support platform and representative voice for professional artists primarily engaged in camera-based art. The association’s goal is to promote and develop contemporary art, increase interest in visual culture, and enhance the recognition of Estonian artists both locally and internationally. FOKU’s most extensive activity is leading the Tallinn Photomonth international contemporary art biennial. In 2010, FOKU also initiated Estonia’s first art fair – the Estonian Photographic Art Fair, which has since evolved into Foto Tallinn art fair.
