Philadelphia

20/20 Photo Festival

September 7th, 2024 / 12-7pm / @Cherry street pier

Please join us for the month of September 2024

to celebrate photography in Philadelphia!

Technology has altered photography every year since its inception: The camera obscura sparked the idea of image making and evolved into a pinhole camera while the Daguerreotype made it into a physical object by exposing iodized silver plates.  Changes in film and chemistry moved us from making calotypes to darkroom silver prints, color prints, digital prints and now images are created by AI.  After every new stage of evolution, we adapt our practice and process by blending old and new technologies.  This year's 20/20 Photo Festival explores this evolution and influence of technology on contemporary photography by featuring artists and partnerships that reflect the creative collaborations happening throughout Philadelphia.
