Through the festival’s pluralistic lens, Photoville Village (a cluster of shipping containers, banners, and PhotoCube exhibitions in Brooklyn Bridge Park) and exhibitions across New York’s five boroughs connect the many sides of the city and disparate experiences throughout the world

Photoville NYC 2025 kicks off with an event-packed, free-to-the-public Opening Weekend Community Celebration in Brooklyn Bridge Park, on Saturday June 7th and Sunday the 8th.

Throughout the month of June, Photoville offers professional development opportunities in partnership with Leica Camera and Diversify Photo, as well as education field trips for New York City elementary, middle and high-school students supported by PhotoWings

Photoville (co-founded by Laura Roumanos, Sam Barzilay, and Dave Shelley) brings local and international visions of our world today to Brooklyn Bridge Park and every New York City borough with its 14th annual festival, Photoville NYC 2025 (June 7–22). In over 80 free-of-charge exhibitions, the festival reflects our tumultuous moment, while offering hope in its collection of images from across the spectrum of human experience that transcend our era of reinforced silos and borders.

Founded in 2011, Photoville has throughout its history sought to populate New York’s public space with perspectives as diverse and international as the city itself. In pursuit of this mission, they launched the Photoville festival, committed to nurturing a new lens of representation, an overarching vision that extends to a diversity of themes and stories. Celebrating and emulating New York’s spirit and identity at the nexus of the hyper-local and vastly global, the festival’s exhibitions offer windows into lives and stories unfolding down the block and oceans away.
