Photography exhibitions, guided photo tours, workshops, and artist presentations are set to take place in Philadelphia for a 10-day festival this month.
According to a PhillyVoice report, the 20/20 Photo Festival in Philadelphia will be held from Sept. 10 through Sept. 19. This event will offer free photography programming across galleries, colleges, and venues citywide.
This year’s theme, “Transforming Landscapes,” examines how the United States has evolved over 250 years in environment, urban development, technology, culture, and society.
Festival activities include guided photo walks — featuring a mural tour with TILT Institute for the Contemporary Image and Mural Arts Philadelphia — as well as photography and bookmaking workshops, artist talks, and panel discussions.
According to the PhillyVoice, the Cherry Street Pier will host major events, including the annual Photo Book Fair and exhibitions such as Transforming Landscapes (analog photography), a retrospective of The Photo Review’s photography competition, and James Abbott’s exhibition on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
Additional exhibitions from local, national, and international photographers will be showcased at various galleries and arts organizations around Philadelphia.
