(13th of May - 12th of June 2011)

The Photomonth in Krakow is one of Europe’s most important photography events and in Poland it has achieved the status of one of Poland’s largest ongoing cultural events. It is one of few occasions to come across photography as a contemporary art, and to see its wealth of contexts and the subjects it tackles, often undermining the stereotypical image of a given country or society – this year Great Britain.  

Photomonth in Krakow has been going on since 2002. The success of this undertaking is much assisted by its location: Krakow, the cultural capital of Poland. This is a city with extraordinary traditions, brimming with creative ferment – if only because of its large student population and its artistic traditions. It is in this atmospheric place, this great tourist destination, that photography exhibitions are shown on a grand scale every year. Photomonth fits the space perfectly, it even takes over the town, which lives and breathes the festival. The key partners of the festival are domestic and foreign ministries, and the most important cultural institutions of several countries.
