Hothouse is back for 2023 and this time we are in Hull!

Join us for a day of celebrating sustainable photography. 16 speakers will share their photographic practice in quick-fire presentations over the course of a full day. This year we are in partnership with Humber Eco Fest and Hull Independent Photography Festival

We encourage you to see the exhibition, Double Shadow, if you can but don't worry if not, there will still be lots to unpack.
