Batumi to Host International Photo Festival in September

The four-day Batumi-Odessa International Photo Festival is to kick off on September 7 in the capital of Adjara, Batumi.

Photography lovers will have the chance to attend seven exhibitions, three-night shows and a musical performance. The festival, with the theme ‘Photography Today, Tomorrow,’ will showcase photographic works from Canada, Ukraine, India, US, Belarus, Armenia and Georgia.

The focus of the festival is to be conceptual photography, contemporary tendencies and the influence of modern technologies on it, its role in today’s society, and how photography as art has been defined over recent decades.

The Festival was founded in 2015 and is an annual event held in Odessa in April and in Batumi in September. Attendance at exhibitions is free of charge.
