December 17, 2021 - February 20, 2022

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Head On Photo Festival is a leading international photography festival. Our reputation is based on our belief that every photo artist deserves a fair chance to show their work. This philosophy has allowed us to be the first to show quality work that breaks the mould and exhibit all genres of photography by artists at all career stages.

The 2022 Festival will take place in Sydney during November and we are now seeking exhibition submissions.

We are looking for diverse, engaging, quality work in all genres across still photography, multi-media and video art.  Head On Photo Festival welcomes applications from individual artists, curators, groups and exhibition spaces/galleries, Australian and international. Work can be recent or not – are you sitting on a treasure trove of past images?

We believe all photo-artists need a fair chance to show their work; proposals submitted through our submission process is judged without the artists’ names or pedigrees, so they stand on their merit alone.

After the selection panel reviews the submissions, we will invite successful applicants to exhibit during Head On Photo Festival 2022.

Artist Talk

January 20

112 Don Gaspar Santa Fe, NM

Monroe Gallery of Photography is pleased to announce an exclusive event with David Butow, photographer and author of the new book “BRINK”.

On January 20, 2022, the one year anniversary of President Biden’s inauguration, at 5 pm MST (4 pm PST, 6 pm CDT, 7 pm EST) David Butow will be in conversation with Steve Appleford, a contributing writer and video producer with the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, and other publications. BRINK chronicles the dynamics that unfolded during the 2016 presidential election and led, finally, to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.

From a dingy motel room in the swing state of Michigan, to the Oval Office, BRINK chronicles dynamics that unfolded during the 2016 presidential election and led, finally, to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in January 2021. Photographer David Butow moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Washington, D.C. in 2017 to document what he knew would be a chaotic time in U.S. politics. “While I expected the incompetence, I underestimated the treachery,” he says in the book’s Endnotes.

Fine art prints and signed copies of BRINK will be available.

 January 20, 2022, 4pm PST/7 pm EST

FORECAST 2021 Artist Talk with Trent Bozeman

Artist Talk

January 25

Please join us on Tuesday, January 25th for an artist talk with FORECAST 2021 artist Trent Bozeman. In his project A People Called Elaine, Trent Bozeman presents a sensitive and thoughtful document of members of the Elaine, Arkansas community, which from September 30 – October 1, 1919 was the setting for a little known, but terrible massacre of black inhabitants by white supremacists. Since 2020, Bozeman has been hosting a summer photography camp with children at the Elaine Legacy Center, giving the students the tools and agency to represent themselves. As he continues with this long-term project, Bozeman states, “I am focusing on collaboration with the kids, while also making images that hold a more vocal stance on the inner politics, societal issues, and culture of Elaine.”

We welcome you to learn more about Trent Bozeman’s photographic practice as he shares work and answers questions from the audience.
