Photo Fringe Collectives Hub 2026

3 October – 22 November 2026 | Phoenix Art Space, Brighton

Photo Fringe’s Collectives Hub returns to Phoenix Art Space for its twelfth edition, bringing together eight selected photography and lens-based artist collectives from across the UK and beyond.

This year’s exhibition brings together 20 Degree Collective, DG03 Collective, Folo Collective, Inner Room, Elephant, Work Show Grow, Whence We Came and Zinnia Collective, presenting a diverse range of photographic practices, perspectives and approaches to image-making.

Responding to Phoenix Art Space’s 30th anniversary theme, Future Histories, the Collectives Hub considers how the past continues to shape the present, while asking how the images, stories and actions of today might influence the futures we create.

Together, the eight collectives offer multiple ways of thinking through photography’s relationship with memory, identity, place, history and possibility, creating a space to reflect on where we have come from, where we are now, and where we might go next.

Photo Fringe Collectives Hub 2026 is part of Photo Fringe 2026: Feedback Loop and takes place at Phoenix Art Space from 2 October to 22 November 2026.

Preview: Fri 2nd Oct, 6–9 pm
