Look Photo Biennial (stylised as LOOK Photo Biennial) is a biannual photography festival based in Liverpool, UK. It is a four-week programme that takes place in various venues in Liverpool and across the North West in April and May. It dates back to 2007 but began in its current format in 2011. From 2018 it is being led by Open Eye Gallery, where the festival is centred.
Prior to 2018 it was called Look - Liverpool International Photography Festival. It runs in the opposing years to Liverpool Biennial.[1]
The Look website states "LOOK Photo Biennial is about how we see the world through lenses, screens, culture, contexts. ... We want to think about how we can overcome our visual reflexes, and see the drastic changes taking place right now in the UK and across the globe through fresh eyes."[2]
The festival includes archive work, recent work and newly commissioned work[3] by emerging and established artists from Liverpool, the UK and elsewhere. The majority of work is new or being shown in the UK for the first time.
The festival takes place over four weeks and includes exhibitions, conferences, talks, tours, workshops, participation activities, screenings, competitions and fringe activities.[1]
