Time Machine — Bristol Photo Festival
Biennial photography festival across Bristol with exhibitions, talks and workshops showcasing international and local projects.
Bristol Photo Festival is an international biennial of contemporary photography. We organise a programme of exhibitions, talks and workshops, bringing together leading photographic voices from across the world. Alongside this work, we develop long-term projects in collaboration with local communities. Our mission is to present nuanced and unexpected stories that foster greater understanding of shared pasts, presents and futures.
Our work is internationally-focussed yet locally grounded, built from the urgencies of our city and its inhabitants. As a platform, we support artists to experiment, creating work that breaks with convention, exploring the possibilities of photography as a political tool today. Our second edition (2024) drew over 115,000 visitors, with 14 exhibitions staged across the city's museums, galleries and independent spaces.
