FotoFest Biennial 2022

Welcome to the FotoFest Biennial 2022! It feels good to be gathering together again. We are delighted to invite you to explore all of the exceptional exhibitions, installations, programs, and events taking place in the Arts District Houston and throughout the City of Houston. We hope you find this year’s Biennial an especially inspiring and thought-provoking experience.

This year the FotoFest Biennial 2022 central exhibition is titled If I Had a Hammer and is co-curated by Amy Sadao, Max Fields, and me. The central exhibition is accompanied by African Cosmologies: Redux, a restaging of our 2020 central exhibition that was cut short two years ago by the pandemic; and Ten by Ten, our presentation of notable work drawn from FotoFest Meeting Place Portfolio reviews since 2020. 

The exhibitions are on view at Silver Street Studios, Winter Street Studios, the Silos on Sawyer, and Spring Street Studios, located in the heart of Arts District Houston, as well as at partner venues The Menil Collection, Houston Museum of African American Culture, and The Alta Arts. With over one hundred Participating Spaces events and programs across Houston, we are convinced there is something for everyone to see, experience, and enjoy.
