The Belfast Photo Festival celebrated its 11th iteration this year with the theme ‘Biosphere’, inviting artists and audiences to experience new imagery, commissions and projects ‘that spark positive change in how we view and inhabit our shared Earth’.
An important element is the Polish program Metamorfoza (Metamorphosis), a dynamic series of exhibitions, events and screenings that highlight the evolving landscapes of Polish ecology and society. Major photographic works by Polish artists Diana Lelonek, Anna Zagrodzka, Karol Szymkowiak, and Dyba and Adam Lach, are installed in key locations across the city, inviting reflection on how we interact with our changing environment. This is part of the ongoing 2025 UK-Poland Season project with support from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the Polish Cultural Institute and the British Council and in partnership with Fotofestiwal Lodz.
