Overview
Marking its 13th year of celebrating a plethora of the world's best photographers, Australia's Head On Photo Festival is back and ready to showcase new stunning images at two of Sydney's major outdoor venues. The festival has gathered the works of 500 photographers across 107 exhibitions and will spotlight them at the Bondi Pavilion and Paddington Reservoir Gardens. Best of all, it's free for all to attend and enjoy.
This year's theme centres on global issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, global conflict, refugees, feminism, motherhood, pop culture, the environment, youth homelessness and gentrification. More specifically, the presented photos will provide the public insight into Sahat Zia Hero's life as a refugee in Bangladesh and unveil the reality of Syria captured by 21-year-old Syrian photojournalist Mouneb Taim.
To commemorate the upcoming event, the Head On Foundation will host an opening night on Friday, November 4 at the Bondi Pavilion. Judges include Azu Nwagbogu (Founder and Director, African Artists' Foundation) and Kaya Lee Berne (Photo Editor, National Geographic Magazine). Visitors will also be treated to food, drinks and music for a night of fun and entertainment.
