REMEDY is the UK’s only photography festival dedicated to health, wellbeing and identity, launches across Lincolnshire this June. Supported by Arts Council England REMEDY creates a new national platform for socially engaged photographic practice.
The festival brings together photographers from across the UK whose work engages directly with some of the most urgent social and cultural questions of our time.
Lincoln Arts Centre will be showing photographer Emil Peltola, whose work documents his experience of living bedbound with ME/CFS. And Lincoln Central Library will be showing work by acclaimed photographer Anthony Luvera.
The festival also features work by Lincolnshire-based photographers including Tom Martin, Poppy Bellamy and Tobias Beach Wyld. A further group exhibition will be presented at Not Quite North photography shop, featuring six emerging and established photographers working across documentary and socially engaged practice.
Other exhibiting artists include Rosie Barnes, Cheryl Newman and JA Mortram (Small Town Inertia).
Across the programme, projects explore subjects ranging from underdiagnosed autism in women and girls to chronic illness, gender transition and historical representations of sickness.
All exhibiting artists will also be featured during the main festival weekend, from Friday 19 – Sunday 21 June at the Barbican Creative Hub in Lincoln, alongside talks and a symposium exploring the ethics of photography and health.
REMEDY runs from 1–30 June across Lincolnshire, with exhibitions and events taking place in Lincoln, Skegness and Sutton-on-Sea.
Festival Weekend: Friday 19 – Sunday 21 June
