CHECK OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS
52st EDITION, AUGUST 14–22, 2027
Following the 51st edition, “Fibers,” in which we explored traditional clothing from every angle, the RFI continues its journey with a new edition dedicated to “Voices of the World.”
As a means of communication, transmission, and expression, the voice takes on a multitude of sounds: breaths, cries, stories, rhythms, calls, harmonies, languages, and accents. These are all ways to give voice to cultures from here and elsewhere.
Together, we will set out to discover these voices that tell the story of the world, pass on memories, and invite us to connect, listen to one another, and share in new ways.
