Taking place every two years in Melbourne and cities across regional Victoria, the festival addresses the major issues of our time in a program of free exhibitions, outdoor displays and artist commissions, as well as awards, talks, workshops, tours and film screenings.
Presenting ideas critical to contemporary photographic discourse, PHOTO encourages the public to engage with and think about photography and visual culture in new and inspiring ways.
