Peckham 24

133 Copeland Road
Until 26 May

This weekend is the last chance to check out Peckham 24, the free local festival dedicated to photography, taking place across several venues in South-East London, and with a programme of special events and talks taking place too. The brainchild of Vivienne Gamble and Jo Dennis, Peckham began in 2016 and its first edition ran for just 24 hours – which is where the festival got its name.

A not-for-profit centred around artists and photographers, Peckham 24 always brings together the bleeding-edge of the medium. This year’s four-strong curatorial team, made up of Emma Bowkett, Iona Fergusson, Vivienne Gamble and Raquel Villar-Perez (of Impression’s Gallery, Bradford) have worked to a theme of
The 8th Edition of Peckham 24 will explore photography’s multi-layered relationship to history through the curatorial theme, BACK TO THE FUTURE. The artistic programme will bring together diverse perspectives that blend the past, the present and the future via the lens of history. Exhibitions and events will showcase the work of innovative lens-based artists reflecting on themes of memory and personal histories, as well as the work of artists who take moments from the past as inspiration to re-stage, re-imagine or re-think existing narratives.

Peckham 24 is also host to the V&A Parasol Foundation Prize for Women in Photography, this year.
