Head On Photo Festival is Australia’s leading photography platform, bringing hundreds of world-class photographers to Sydney’s most iconic stages. Each year, our festival transforms the city into a living art gallery. From the dazzling Bondi Beach promenade to the historic Paddington Reservoir Gardens, familiar spaces emerge anew as unmissable exhibition spaces. Head On Festival 2024, our fifteenth instalment, offers a diverse and compelling program for audiences to enjoy. There will be artist talks, free events, workshops, and life-giving discussions framed by the evocative visual narratives of the installations. The Festival program this year includes over 90 exhibitions and over 600 artists showing across Sydney, Australia and online. We are committed to sharing diverse ideas and building Australia’s reputation as an international cultural powerhouse, broadening the talent base that comes to Sydney. Get an early glimpse of the work at the Head On Launch party on 8 November.
