Photoville
\nSeptember 12 – 22, 2019
\nBrooklyn Bridge Park
\n334 Furman St.
\nBrooklyn, NY 11201<\/p>\n

Now in its eighth year, the Photoville festival returns to Brooklyn for ten days devoted to all things photography. Held at Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO, the festival runs September 12th to the 22nd, and, because it\u2019s a carnival-like atmosphere,\u00a0 \u201cPhoto-carnies\u201dguide you to over 80 exhibits held in repurposed shipping containers.<\/p>\n

These container exhibitions include “The Closet as Archive” featuring Dr. Deborah Willis which explores the ways in which the concept of memory, beauty, and desire is essential to storytelling. “Journalists Under Fire” is a collaborative work from various artists that examines journalists and photogs who have made the ultimate sacrifice. “Redefining Representation: The Women of the 116th Congress” from Elizabeth D Herman and Celeste Sloman, is a look at\u00a0 women serving in the 116th US congress after the recent elections which saw a rise in women serving. “Spanish Harlem: El Barrio in the \u201980s” is a series of photos by Joseph Rodr\u00edguez of New York\u2019s oldest barrio, which has survived through the decades.<\/p>\n

Photoville also has a series of lectures, talks, and nighttime programs that will take viewers from the offices of the New York Times to the frontlines of Aleppo, Syria.<\/p>\n
