About Fabula Works

Founded in Paris, Fabula Works considers itself a cultural actor in promoting contemporary photography, committed to creating spaces where images can spark dialogue and find an echo beyond the gallery space. The Latin word fabula refers to stories in their broadest sense, embracing everything between comedy and tragedy, and reflecting the diversity and complexity of human experience.

What We Do

Fabula Works is a curatorial platform dedicated to discovering and supporting new photographic voices, with a special focus on emerging artists from around the world. Through duo or solo exhibitions renewed every four to six weeks, we bring thoughtful and resonant visual narratives to the public.

By covering print production and gallery costs, we aim to reduce financial barriers and make exhibitions more accessible, placing artists and their work at the centre of the process. Our approach is grounded in respect for authorship and in providing a dedicated gallery space where photography can be experienced in print, at scale, in material form, and beyond the limitations of screen-based viewing. Each exhibition is also accompanied by an online presentation, ensuring wider circulation of the selected works. In addition, curator’s picks are regularly featured on Fabula Works’ social media to highlight further submissions and extend visibility beyond the gallery walls.

Alongside its open call programme, Fabula Works periodically presents invitation-based exhibitions, curated independently and developed outside of the open call selection process. These invited artists are selected for the coherence of their practice, their holistic approach to photography, and their artistic relevance within the curatorial direction of the platform.

Millepiani Gallery in Rome

Photography exhibitions curated by Fabula Works are presented at Millepiani Gallery in Rome, a space that has supported contemporary photographic practices for almost a decade. Past exhibitions at Millepiani were curated by Loosen Art, helping establish the gallery as a reference point for creative and experimental photography.

Free to visit and located just three metro stops from the Colosseum, Millepiani is more than a gallery. It is a place that brings people together by providing exhibition spaces, coworking environments, and fertile ground for projects designed to have positive and lasting impacts on the community and society.
