The Weekly planner is an annual ISSP edition.

The edition contains monthly and weekly openings with places for notes, an annual calendar, international holidays, and Latvian name days, a notebook for personal notes, and an envelope for storing important things.

The Planner features 40 carefully selected photographs from 28 photographers from 14 countries, selected via an international open call. The theme of 2025 is “Metamorphosis” - a powerful symbol of transformation that reflects a radical change in form, function, character or state of being encountered by the psyche during its development.

ISSP Weekly Planner 2025 is published in partnership with  Antalis Paper and VV Foundation. Design by Latvian designer Artis Briedis.

The planner can be ordered online at the ISSP Shop or collected at the ISSP Gallery in Riga, Latvia. 

We wish you a beautiful year!
