Peckham 24 Festival of Contemporary Photography returns during Photo London Week

6th Edition on the theme of Fact, Fiction, Fantasy

Peckham 24, the free weekend festival that champions new voices in contemporary photography, returns for its sixth edition to Copeland Park and Bussey Building. The festival, which launched in 2016, has been firmly established as a must-see part of the annual programme of events that celebrate photography city-wide during Photo London fair at Somerset House.

This year’s artistic programme presents a dialogue on photography’s relationship to truth, investigation and imagination through the work of artists who blur the lines between the real, the fictional and the fantastical. Projects on display will explore a dynamic interplay between the three words, FACT FICTION FANTASY, through a range of themes, from surrealism (Lucia Pizzani), magic and superstition (Elena Helfrecht), image culture (Alix Marie and Ruth Beraha), myth and identity (Aishwarya Arumbakkam), and an interrogation of the sinister forces at play within governmental power structures (Rake Collective and Rohit Saha).
