Photoszene-Festival
Welcome
The Photoszene-Festival is a biennial photography festival that takes place throughout the city of Cologne. Since its first edition in 1984, as a continuation of the photo shows organized by L. Fritz Gruber for the photokina trade fair, the participatory festival has established itself in the city and today presents numerous exhibitions on photography and related visual media every year, attracting up to 100,000 visitors.
The next Photoszene-Festival will take place from May 16th - June 13th 2025.

On 27.1. we will talk about:
“Diversity sensitivity: what is it? What examples are there? How can we actively implement this?”
We will offer input and space for discussion on this broad topic. G. Kühnhardt Alvarez will take this opportunity to introduce himself. As part of the Photoszene team, Dey is responsible for the implementation of formats for more sustainable participation and involvement of the audience and local communities. Special attention is paid to the empowerment of marginalized people.
We also have space for your topics and can talk about them here in the round.
