Foster a culture around photography

One of the key concepts of Project Basho is to nurture a vibrant and active culture around photography in Philadelphia and its surrounding area. In addition to offering darkroom space, classes, workshops, and a gallery, we recognize the importance of providing programs to promote conversation and dialogue about photography. With this in mind we offer a frequent schedule of artist talks, film screenings, and other photography-related events.

We regularly invite photographers and other notable people involved in the field of photography to offer a range of lectures and panel discussions to the local community. These occasions are intended to provide deeper insight into photographers' work, their ideas behind the images, the impact and implications of the work in a larger context, and ultimately their identity as a photographer and individual in the ever-changing contemporary world.

We also host a monthly film series of photography-related movies. The selections include both documentary and fiction features that exemplify unique visual language or touch on photography in subject matter. These screenings are free of charge, and anyone is welcome to these occasions. If you have suggestions or would like to recommend a movie for the screening, please feel free to contact us.
