PhMuseum Days 2022 Today Is Yesterday's Tomorrow

The 2nd edition of the PhMuseum Days - International Photography Festival took place in Bologna from 23 September to 2 October 2022 under the theme “Today Is Yesterday's Tomorrow”, an opportunity to reflect on the power of actions and the relationship between past, present and future.

The event was held at the DumBO’s Spazio Bianco in Bologna, Italy, a 1600 square meter post-industrial pavilion that hosted exhibitions, presentations, a space dedicated to photographic publishing and an outdoor relaxation area.

The program included 13 individual and 2 group exhibitions, portfolio reviews, workshops and a rich program of presentations. The event was organised by PhMuseum, a platform promoting authors and contemporary photography since 2012.
