Photo Oxford is a festival that takes a serious look at photography

Every two years, we fill spaces across Oxford with a vibrant programme of exhibitions and events, celebrating contemporary practice as well as the rich history of photography.

Founded in 2013, Photo Oxford is a charity dedicated to making photography accessible to everyone. Our programme explores big ideas and current debates, and is grounded in current photographic discourse, theory and debate, while also recognising photography’s relevance to people beyond the photographic community.

Featuring local, national and international photographers, the festival offers audiences moments of discovery and reflection, while providing photographers with opportunities to develop their practice and network.
