9TH EDITION
16-25 MAY
COME TOGETHER
Set within the current global landscape of polarised politics, illegal invasions and territorial wars, the 9th edition of Peckham 24 seeks to flip the narratives of division. Reacting against an endless cycle of distressing images of systemic violence worldwide, we put out our plea to come together. This year’s artistic programme seeks to examine the alternative pathways, stories of resistance and routes out of conflict. We will shine a light on the work of artists who explore visions of peace, healing and unity, and who help us to raise hope over hate.
Together we are stronger.
The full programme of exhibiting artists, talks and events will be announced soon.
A BIGGER BOOK FAIR
We are delighted to announce that A Bigger Book Fair (ABBF) returns to Unit 8 on the main festival site at Copeland Park for a second year. Created in partnership with Biblioteka the publishing fair gets a little bigger again for 2025 as we welcome 80+ independent publishers to share photo books, zines and magazines in a weekend long celebration of photography in print.

OPEN CALL 2025
A WELCOME TABLE
This year’s Open Call invites artists, practitioners and photographers to be part of a live, participatory event with artist Becky Warnock. A Welcome Table is an event, engagement programme and art work simultaneously. It sits at the heart of Peckham 24’s 2025 festival, hosting artists, community groups and public audiences as part of the theme COME TOGETHER. The event draws on the structure of a Long Table gathering in which the audience participates in the conversations, expanding on themes including peacebuilding and reconciliation, community, food and culture. Rather than simply observing, we are seeking artists, practitioners and photographers who will offer a ‘provocation’ based on key themes from their work.
How to apply and more details here.
