In celebration of Foam’s 25th anniversary, this landmark issue of Foam Magazine reflects on the museum’s legacy and the role of the photographic medium in society through the question: what makes an image stand the test of time? Featuring 92 contributors from across photography and beyond, the issue brings together portfolios, conversations, and personal reflections – from Tyler Mitchell to Marina Abramović, Sakir Khader, Lebohang Kganye, Oluremi C. Onabanjo, and Gem Fletcher, Deborah Willis.

This magazine offers a starting point for conversation and contemplation on the potential of images today, and a projection of those we wish to see tomorrow.
