About
LOOK Photo Biennial is an international programme of photography, taking place across the North West and an exchange country. It is led by Open Eye Gallery. The 2019 edition will take place from May to December next year. In the run-up to the biennial, we’ll be programming exhibitions and events with our exchange country, in both the NW and overseas. For this edition, our exchange country is China.
LOOK Photo Biennial is about how we see the world through lenses, screens, culture, contexts. It’s an opportunity to examine what we share and how we see across borders, territorial and digital. We want to think about how we can overcome our visual reflexes, and see the drastic changes taking place right now in the UK and across the globe through fresh eyes.
LOOK is an ongoing conversation, not a presentation; along the way, we welcome you to join in our public discussions, contribute to the conversation on- and offline, and pitch in ideas for what you’d like to see produced.
