An international photography festival shaped by the movements of the city.
IC Visual Lab have been appointed to lead the second edition of Bristol Photo Festival. Having acted as a key partner during the first-edition, ICVL are well placed to guide the festival, bringing together artists, organisations and funders to build a festival that speaks directly to the city.

Initial artists include: Rinko Kawauchi, Trent Park, Sarker Protick, Ariella Aïsha Azouley, Hashem Shakeri, Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah, Kirsty Mackay, Amak Mahmoodian, Ritual Inhabitiual, Andrew Jackson, Bandia Ribeira and many more.
