The 2022 FotoFocus Biennial: World Record encompassed more than 100 projects at Participating Venues across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dayton, and Columbus, and featured nearly 800 artists, curators, and participants. These projects included major new artist commissions and a wide range of original exhibitions, events, and projects, all centered around the theme of World Record. The theme considers photography’s extensive record of life on earth, humankind’s impact on the natural world, and the choices we now face as a global community.
The 2022 FotoFocus Biennial Program Week, September 29–October 8, 2022, featured keynote lectures, talks and panel discussions with artists, curators and collaborators, screenings, receptions, and tours, establishing the theme and dialogues that unite the broader programming.
