A one day microfestival for documentary photography
About
May Day Photo Fest celebrates the current practice of documentary photography, featuring an exhibition by American documentary photographer Joseph Rodriguez, and a programme of talks and screenings.
The festival is an unique opportunity to drop by presentations by the multimedia duo Duckrabbit, who are advancing the art of producing documentary photofilms, and by acclaimed street photographer Matt Stuart, member of iN-PUBLiC. The festival will also feature all day print and book sales of the documentary photography students of Newport University. These sales will contribute funds towards their final year summer exhibition at Netil House in London Fields on the 15th of July. The day will culminate at six o'clock with a conversation between three generations of photographers: Magnum photographer David Hurn, VII Network photographer Jocelyn Bain Hogg, and the young and rising star of portraiture Laura Pannack.
