OPEN ECO was installed today and is on until Sunday 15 November.

The exhibition brings together 20 artists selected through an international open call, each presenting a single photographic image in response to one question: how can photography make a difference to the climate crisis?

Rather than offering one answer, OPEN ECO brings together twenty perspectives on a rapidly changing world. The photographs move between intimate encounters with place and landscape, observations of environmental change, questions of responsibility and extraction, experiences of loss and displacement, and visions of resilience, adaptation and possible futures.

Some draw our attention to what is already changing around us; others ask us to consider what might be lost, what might endure, and what kinds of futures we are capable of imagining. Together, they demonstrate photography’s ability to not only document environmental change but also to make complex and often distant issues feel immediate and personally tangible.

Join our Producer's Tour, with Ricardo Revéron Blanco, this Sunday 4 October, 12pm - 2pm, at Photo Fringe's Collectives Hub at (Free).

The exhibition brings together eight selected photography and lens-based artist collectives from across the UK and beyond, join us and discover more about the artists and these brilliant works. 

This year’s exhibition brings together a diverse range of photographic practices, perspectives and approaches to image-making. Responding to Phoenix Art Space’s 30th anniversary theme, Future Histories, the Collectives Hub considers how the past continues to shape the present, while asking how the images, stories and actions of today might influence the futures we create.

2pm Phoenix Art Space

About the live reading: 

Lauren Joy Kennett, Alexandra Vacaroiu and Mika Sperling read aloud while Vasudhaa Narayanan's voice plays through speakers in the room. Their voices come together through reading and song.

Images and words become a record of what it means to love as a woman today. How much the body and mind carry, how deeply these experiences change us, and how much we continue to be influenced by them.

We return to the difficult moments within our most intimate relationships to understand what transpired.
