Naarm/Melbourne, November 2023 – Australia’s largest photography festival returns from 01 to 24 March 2024 for its third edition: PHOTO 2024 International Festival of Photography. The award-winning biennale features an art trail of 100 free exhibitions and outdoor art installations to explore across seven Festival Precincts in Melbourne, as well as five cities in regional Victoria – presented in partnership with over 50 museums and galleries including ACMI, State Library Victoria, Museum of Australian Photography, and the Centre for Contemporary Photography.

Addressing the theme ‘The Future Is Shaped by Those Who Can See It’, PHOTO 2024’s expansive program invites audiences to discover the possible and parallel futures that lie ahead, and how current actions are shaping future realities – from AI-generated images and surveillance evasion to climate futures and animal espionage.

Omar Victor Diop (Senegal), Carmen Winant (USA), Edward Burtynsky (Canada), Mous Lamrabat (Morocco), Candice Breitz (South Africa), Cao Fei (China), and CAMP (India). PHOTO 2024 also celebrates three Icons of Photography: Nan Goldin (USA), Malick Sidibé (Mali) and Rennie Ellis (Australia).
