About Fotofestiwal

Fotofestiwal was established in 2001 as one of the first photography events in Poland. Since then it has grown into one of the most relevant photographic festivals in Europe, presenting photography in its various ways (via exhibitions, films, slideshows, workshops etc.) but also talking about important social issues and introducing the unobvious beauty and unique history of Łódź to the audience. For such reason they organize thematic exhibitions in various post-industrial spaces, which Łódź is well known for. Since 2016 they work as a collective, with no board of directors, developing a new way of cultural institution management.
