EXHIBITIONS 

LANDSKRONA FOTO FESTIVAL

14–23 SEPTEMBER 2018

Once a year, the little Swedish city of Landskrona turns into a buzzing photographic metropolis – Landskrona Foto Festival. The art of photography becomes a part of the urban environment, in the parks and the shops, while simultaneously occupying the sanctuaries of fine culture. The love of photography, the commitment and drive to make Landskrona a photo city, reaches its crescendo during ten days in September. You cannot fail to notice the ambition: to become The Capital of Photography in Scandinavia. The festival has established itself as our most important photo event nationally, and it has also made an international impact. This year, over 120 exhibiting photographers from the whole world can be seen in this sixth edition of the festival. Welcome to ten days of exhibitions, artist talks, workshops and much more! Check it out!
