Frome, May, 2023 – is the second edition of Photo|Frome, an inclusive festival dedicated to showcasing and celebrating local, national, & international levels of photographic endeavour and filling the creative southwestern England community of Frome with photos – of which Black Swan Arts is one venue.
The 2023 theme, ‘Decolonising Environments’, explores the complex and often conflicting relationships between human communities, places, and the natural world. Encompassing a range of styles, subjects and genres, Photo|Frome invites photographers and audiences to contribute to discussions around the social and environmental impacts of long standing political, cultural, and economic ideas about our world.
This year’s Photo|Frome builds on 2022’s successful inaugural outing which featured 75 photographers in 7 venues, enjoyed over 6,000 visitors, broke venue exhibition records, and welcomed attendees from across the UK.
