FotoFest Biennial 2020 will take place from March 8–April 19, 2020. AFRICAN COSMOLOGIES—Photography, Time, and the Other, will focus on artists of Africa and its diaspora. The FotoFest Biennial 2020 marks the first time in its 37-year history that the Biennial’s central exhibition will focus on artists of African origin. Over 100 independent museums, art galleries, non-profit art centers and corporate spaces will participate in the FotoFest Biennial 2020 by presenting photographic work and photography-centered events during the festival’s six weeks.

AFRICAN COSMOLOGIES is curated by Mark Sealy MBE, a British curator, writer, and cultural producer with a special interest in the relationship between photography and social change, identity politics and human rights. Since 1991, Sealy has been the director of Autograph ABP, the London-based non-profit photographic arts agency dedicated to highlighting issues of identity, representation, human rights and social justice.

FotoFest will again stage the International Meeting Place Portfolio Review for Artists during the FotoFest Biennial 2020; a two week-long event that brings together 450 artists from over 30 countries, with nearly 200 national and international curators, publishers, gallerists, and photography industry leaders for one-on-one meetings. In addition, FotoFest also organizes another exhibition The Discoveries of the Meeting Place that showcases ten artists selected from the Meeting Place 2018 as particularly interesting to an invited group of international reviewers.

Glasgow International 2020's theme is Attention. As much a method or approach as a theme, Attention asks us to consider how, where and in whom our attention is placed at a time of seemingly constant distraction through, for instance, social media and 24 hour news feeds. What are the opportunities for close looking both in the making and viewing of art, and how we attend to others whom we care for, as well as ourselves?

From 24 April to 10 May 2020, Glasgow International 2020 will be a special moment, a crescendo in the creative rhythm of the city, that opens up a space for relearning and recovering the stretches of time before, during and beyond it. Attention seeks to step outside the everyday and open up a new space for looking, thinking and spending time with the work of artists and to see afresh the intent behind the work.
