Photoville

#Photoville2024 has wrapped!

After a summer of amplifying visual stories across all five boroughs, our 13th Annual Photoville Festival has officially come to a close!

For everyone that came to visit us in Brooklyn Bridge Park, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our Photo Village!

And for those of you who weren’t able to make it down – we hope you found inspiration and connection in exhibitions up throughout the summer. From Jackson Heights to the West Village, Van Cortland Park to the South Beach Promenade there was beautiful visual storytelling to enjoy across the city!

We are so grateful for all of the passion, talent and camaraderie – from our artists, attendees and partners.

Producing an outdoor public event at this scale is not easy, especially in a city like New York, so we want to shout to all of our marquee partners – Brooklyn Bridge Park, NYC Parks, Leica Camera, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Photowings, The Seaport, the New York State Council on the Arts, NYC Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment, The DUMBO Improvement District, and Two Trees Management.

And of course all of you.

Till we connect again, let’s keep inspiring each other, and forming a community around beautiful visual storytelling!

Watch this space for updates on #Photoville2025— a call for proposals for next year’s festival will be announced in November.

MFON Global Symposium: Presence and Preservation

This summer, MFON and Photoville, in partnership with MPB, the Open Society Foundations, and the Parsons, School of Art, Media & Technology at The New School hosted the inaugural MFON Global Symposium: Presence & Preservation! Curated by Laylah Amatullah Barrayn and Adama Delphine Fawundu, and joined by a renowned group of panelists, we engaged in inspiring and uplifting discussions on archiving and elevating the voices of women and non-binary photographers of African descent. The day was filled with community, shared experiences, and paying homage to the women and non-binary photographers of African descent who have come before us today.

And now, we are so excited to announce the release of the engaging and gem-packed panel discussion recordings available for you to watch anytime, anywhere! So, get comfortable, grab a pen and paper (and possibly some tissues) and get into the 2024 MFON Global Symposium: Presence and Preservation!

 

Education Day Field Trips

This summer was truly a summer to remember. Educators and students came from all over NYC and neighboring tri-state area schools for this year’s Photoville Festival Education Field Trip Days! In our continued partnership with PhotoWings and the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, we brought together festival exhibition artists and youth photographers to inspire and connect with our students.

From youth artist exchange panels to exhibition artist walking tours, you can now stream each panel and artist-led tour from anywhere, anytime! Visit our video archive where you can access these 2024 videos, and our comprehensive database of other free resources!
