The sixth annual Photo North Festival is set to provide a lively celebration of photography in Leeds, England, this spring, featuring a blend of internationally acclaimed and emerging artists. Held in one of the UK’s most culturally vibrant cities, the festival guarantees an exhilarating schedule of exhibitions, discussions, screenings, networking events, book signings, and more.

Serving as a significant gathering for the photography community in Northern England, this year’s festival will highlight captivating projects that narrate stories from across the world, granting visitors the opportunity to experience the impact of visual storytelling in person – there is no more profound way to appreciate photography than in its tangible form!

A notable exhibition among many is How Do You Dance in a War Zone?, an emotive collaboration between photographers Maria Falconer and Paul Hill alongside Ukrainian dancers in Kyiv and Lviv. This project examines the endurance of movement and physical expression amidst the destruction of war.

Mike Abrahams’ This Was Then chronicles three decades of life in Britain, showcasing key moments from before and after Margaret Thatcher’s tenure as Prime Minister. Paul Berriff’s 1960s Rock Legends will provide music enthusiasts a glimpse into the golden age of rock, featuring personal portraits of legendary musicians.

Additionally, the festival will feature The North Revisited by Simon Hill, building upon John Bulmer’s iconic images of Northern England during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as Svalbard People by Graeme Chesters, which delves into life in the Arctic Circle through striking portraits.

Alongside the exhibitions, attendees can interact with the Channel 4 photo team during portfolio drop-in sessions and industry discussions. Moreover, the event will showcase photography and memorabilia from iconic films such as Trainspotting and Rita, Sue and Bob Too.

Whether you are a photography aficionado or a professional in the field, the Photo North Festival presents a chance to immerse yourself in the creativity and cultural significance of both contemporary and classic photography.
