This is the final weekend of Photoville NYC 2022—featuring 60 photo exhibits across all 5 boroughs of New York City—and if you live here or are just visiting, you’ll definitely want to make time to see as many exhibits as you can.

Founded in 2011, Photoville NYC has throughout its history sought to populate New York’s public space with perspectives as “diverse and international as the city itself,” say the organizers. In pursuit of this mission, they launched the Photoville festival, “activating public spaces, amplifying visual storytellers, and creating unique and innovative exhibitions and other programming.” This is the first time the photo festival has taken place in the summer and across all 5 boroughs.

While there is such incredible work and personal projects to see, here are a just a few of our favorite exhibits at Photoville NYC 2022 you might still have time to check out. And if you can’t attend in person, these photographers are worth putting on your radar.

The Rocket Girl Chronicles (Brooklyn Bridge Park, Dock Street)
Described as “documenting how one child’s imagination helped discover many small worlds around us, while the big world was shut down under the pandemic restrictions”, The Rocket Girl Chronicles feature images by Andrew Rovenko. This project—which originated during Melbourne, Australia’s, sixth lockdown during the pandemic—found critical acclaim and resonance around the world, and culminated in Rovenko being named the 2021 Australian Photographer of the Year by Australian Photography magazine. We find the images haunting, futuristic, and captivating.

Antique Pink (Old Fulton Street and Prospect Street, DUMBO Brooklyn)
“Antique Pink” is a tribute to LGBTQIA+ elderly, by Ernst Coppejans. “Learning more about this diverse group of people over the age of 70 was a beautiful and interesting journey,” Coppejans writes on the Photoville website exhibit description. “Every encounter was enriching—so many moving, happy, inspiring, stunning, crushing, sad, powerful, and sometimes heart-breaking stories were told. Producing this series has made me, as a gay man, even more aware of the strong and courageous shoulders we stand on.”

We love that as an artist, Coppejans’ photo projects consists of portraits where he pays attention to diversity, inclusiveness, racism, discrimination, and exclusion. With Antique Pink, he highlight the “underdogs” of society as stars—people whose stories “need to be told.”

Everybody Skate
“Everybody Skate” is a documentary photo project highlighting women and gender non-conforming skateboarders in New York City. Captured on film, Brooklyn-based photographer Lanna Apisukh began the project in 2018 and “shares stories of courage, camaraderie and athleticism through photographic documentation and intimate portraits of the diverse individuals that make up this small but growing community.”

Apisukh was a young skater herself when she grew up in the Nineties and found that she was often the only female skateboarder at the skatepark. We just love when someone’s passion turns into a photo project that sheds light on stories we would otherwise never have a window into.

ICP at The Point (Barreto Point Park in the Bronx)
“ICP at THE POINT: Ready to Rise” is an exhibition of photographs by students and alumni from the International Center of Photography’s community partnership with THE POINT CDC. As described on the Photoville website, the program, based in the South Bronx and launched in 1997, is a year-round collaboration that teaches analog and digital photography, critical thinking, writing, and public speaking with the goal of fostering self-esteem, community development, and social change. The exhibition, featuring a variety of artists, celebrates local voices and captures “the people, places, and things that uplift us in our everyday lives.”

A Place Where the Dream Lives (Washington Street and Prospect Street in Dumbo, Brooklyn)
“A Place Where the Dream Lives”, Presented by National Geographic, are a series of images by photographer Elias WIlliams, whose work honors underrepresented, everyday people living in their communities. This project focuses on St. Albans in Queens, New York, a predominantly African American and Caribbean American working-and middle-class neighborhood known for its pride, strength, and unity, as well as a place where Black people could pursue the American dream of homeownership and business ownership.
