Photoville Festival Expands Across All Five Boroughs For 2020 Edition

Brooklyn-based non-profit Photoville (co-founded by Laura Roumanos, Sam Barzilay, and Dave Shelley; formerly United Photo Industries) announces Photoville NYC 2020, the ninth year of the festival celebrating and showcasing photographers and organizations from New York and around the world, and adapting to the current climate with hope, enthusiasm, and photography in public spaces.

Photoville NYC 2020 expands the beloved festival, for the first time ever, to all five boroughs, offering increased access to art and storytelling as so many facets of society remain on pause, and as New York's open public spaces provide vital, safe ways of being out in the world amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. To give viewers as much time as possible to experience upwards of 60 exhibitions in 30 outdoor locations-while simultaneously safeguarding against overcrowding-the festival will run for two months rather than its usual two weeks, from September 17-November 29, 2020.

While Photoville continues to fill Brooklyn Bridge Park with diverse photographic visions, new locations cover the city, from Times Square (Manhattan) to Soundview Park (The Bronx) to South Beach Promenade (Staten Island) and Astoria Park (Queens).With Photoville's focus on the power of visual storytelling, many exhibitions respond to and candidly capture realities both intimate and global from this historic, harrowing year. (See below for a full list of exhibitions.) Photoville NYC is open to the public-all ages, and all pets included-free of charge, making it unlike any other photo festival in the world.

Photoville has, every year, offered a public of nearly 100,000 people engagement with the work of over 600 photographers at various stages in their careers, giving these exciting artists large-scale exposure. As many organizations are pivoting and reimagining themselves to meet this particular moment, Photoville further nurtures and grows what it's done from the very beginning: marry the beauty and importance of New York's outdoor public spaces with free, captivating photographic exhibitions and cultural experiences.

As the festival approached its 10th anniversary (in 2021), its creators had already begun to brainstorm how-in order to truly be an all-inclusive destination for the city-they could expand to all five boroughs. When the pandemic hit, however, they realized this expansion would be all the more resonant to New Yorkers now, with so many of our means of experiencing art placed on hold. Photoville co-founder Laura Roumanos says, "New Yorkers are using public spaces more than ever right now. While we were stuck at home, escaping our apartments for a brief period each day to go to a park was all we had. Parks have become an even more crucial place for people to unwind and relax, and we thought, 'what a perfect opportunity to engage our communities with stories from around the world.' And since not everyone can travel out to Brooklyn Bridge Park, we thought we'd also bring the stories to them."

"We are proud to partner with Photoville for the 9th season to bring fabulous photography exhibits to the Park, free of charge," said Eric Landau, President of Brooklyn Bridge Park. "During the pandemic parks have proved to be more important than ever, and Photoville has done an amazing job of bringing art, culture, and important storytelling to New Yorkers in a way that is safe for the current times. Though Photoville will be different this year, we are thrilled that it will utilize more of the Park, as well as expand into all five boroughs. Congratulations to Laura, Sam, and Dave."

Immersion and interactivity have always been at the heart of Photoville's success and popularity, allowing it to become the largest annual photographic event in New York City and among the most­ attended photographic events nationwide. This year, as Photoville creatively considers the necessary limits of our moment, the organization has put together an abundant calendar of virtual events surrounding the festival, including artist talks, workshops, demonstrations, educational programs, storytelling events, and community programming. These online offerings also include Photoville Education Day 2020, which will take place throughout the month of October, as a series of education programs for young people and educators. These include Meet the Artist Exhibition Tours, in which students connect with Photoville artists, Youth Photography Panels, in which students learn from their peers, and an Educators Lab, where teachers connect with Photoville artists and collaborate on lesson plans based on their work.

Working with more than 70 curatorial and programming partners, Photoville NYC 2020 exhibits work by more than 260 visual artists. This year's exhibitions include Pandemic Class of 2020, Elias Williams' work highlighting New York City's spring graduates and their diverse experiences at the height of the pandemic, presented by Times Square Arts and Photoville; Asian Americans on Race and The Pandemic, Haruka Sakaguchi's documentation of the stories of ten New York-based Asian Americans who share their experiences of racism during the pandemic, presented by TIME; Bronx Wrestling, Sofie Vasquez's black and white documentary series about the independent wrestling scene and culture happening in the South Bronx; In Our Season of Discontent, Count it All Joy, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture dives into their archive and are curating an exhibition inspired by Ross Gay's poem A Small Needful Fact and Stevie Wonder's album Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants which will be on display in two Harlem parks - St. Nicholas Park and Jackie Robinson Park; Flamingo Bob, Jasper Doest's chronicles of the life of Bob, a rescued flamingo and emissary for conservation on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao, presented by National Geographic; La Vida en Loisaida (Life on the Lower East Side), Destiny Mata's portraits of longtime residents of the rapidly-gentrifying Lower East Side, presented by Abrons Art Center; New Work - Standing Strong Project, an ongoing, multimedia, and community-based project that aims to uplift Indigenous peoples in reclaiming their narrative by creating a safe space to make their own image; Q100, Salvador Espinoza's photographs from the bus line that's the only method of public transportation to and from Rikers Island; Sources of Self Regard, a collection of self-portraits by Black photographers, offering an intimate perspective from artists motivated by their own reality, presented by The New York Times; Teaching Creativity: A Case for Art Education, emphasizing the importance of the arts in all NYC public schools, with works by students and educators, presented by the New York City Department of Education Middle and High School Educators; Trump Revolution: Climate Crisis, presented by Bronx Documentary Center, and documenting the current president's overturning of decades of American environmental policy; We, Women, a preview of a traveling, nationwide exhibit (coming in 2021) in which women and nonbinary artists examine critical issues across the U.S. through photo-based community engagement projects; and more.

The exhibitions will be accompanied by live and on-demand programming online for photo-lovers of all ages. Panel discussions will give added depth to many of these exhibitions, with artists and industry leaders addressing some of the most compelling topics and photo stories of the moment.

Interactive and on-demand workshops will give attendees opportunities to advance their skills with some of the photo community's premiere organizations, while pre-recorded activities will provide photo-fun for the whole family! Adobe will host a series of workshops for photographers looking to expand their skill-sets using Adobe's industry-leading software; Tabletop and Prop Stylist Robin Zachary will lead Styling Beyond Instagram, a discussion of opportunities and ways to get into the exciting Prop Styling business; and many more.
