The Photoworks Annual gathers lens-based artworks and essays according to a single theme or line of enquiry in contemporary photography. Previous issues have focused on ‘thingification’, protest, documenting LGBTQI+ history, and imaging a new post Brexit Europe through the lens of photography.

Our latest Annual 32, 30 Years of Photoworks, includes image-makers from the organisation’s past and present, an in-depth history, and insights into its critical initiatives with schools and communities. It also takes a trip through photography’s archives with the Desert Island Pics, and cutting-edge thinkers on where the next 30 years will take image-making.

As part of our work as a charity to support artists, Photoworks collaborates with emerging artists and writers to design and publish their photobooks. These, along with an archive of our annual publication—dating back to the 1990s when our magazine first launched—can be found in our shop. We also curate a selection of publications from other publishers featuring works by artists we’ve collaborated with or whose work inspires us. From time to time, we also commission artists for exclusive print sales and give our Friends the first opportunity to purchase them.

Photoworks host events exhibitions, workshops and festivals, with our Friends among our most valued attendees. Friends receive exclusive early invitations to activities, as well as access to Friends-only events, including our online artist talk series, ‘‘Conversations with…’ where you can meet and learn more about the artists we collaborate with.

Our professional development opportunities offer an accessible, supportive space to connect with Photoworks’ expertise and a network of industry professionals across photography, curating, producing, publishing, writing, marketing and socially engaged practice. Photoworks Friends get the opportunity to book our professional development opportunities before anyone else, with discounts across single and bundle sessions.

The box is made for artists, curators, and enthusiasts; for creatives, collectives, clubs and communities to build on and stage their own photography festival. Each of the artworks can be installed on your own walls: at home, in your office, in a gallery, in your classroom or with your community. Inspired by Octavia Butler’s 1993 novel Parable of a Sower, and the 14th-century English proverb, ‘Mighty oaks from little acorns grow’, a metaphor suggesting that what we start and nurture now could grow into something vast and strong in the future. Using the ten artists’ work as a starting point, the festival theme From Little Acorns… is also a call to action for audiences to imagine and re-imagine the future.
