PECKHAM 24 X 10 YEARS | 2016-2026

Time flies. It’s 10 years since Peckham 24 started life as a pop-up on the fringes of Photo London Week. Through a labour of love involving over 200 talented artists, curators and collaborators, the festival has grown from the original 24 hour format into an annual event that’s become a fixture of the UK photography scene. To honour their first decade the Peckham 24 are team pleased to announce the ERAS edition, running over three days from 15-17 May 2026, exploring photography through the lens of time. Peckham 24 will also be paying tribute to the way that the artists they have worked with during their formative years have defined the event.

Time is a paradox; it is intangible, but its traces are omnipresent; it is an illusion, yet it’s governing our lives; it facilitates growth, while inducing decay. The projects exhibited at this year’s Peckham 24 explore these multifaceted aspects of time; they address the issues of our time, interrogate ecological transformation and its long-term implications, capture varying life stages and nostalgic formations, and explore the lingering of the past in the present.
