Lauren Joy Kennett, The Trouble With Women, 2026
The Trouble with Women
Lauren Joy Kennett
10 & 11 Oct, 11am-5pm,
Brighton Art Space, BN1 1UL
Over the past year Lauren Joy Kennett has photographed women in their own homes across Hastings, responding to an open call. Mothers, women who don’t want children, women who can’t have them. The project is not finished. Women who feel unrepresented, or who have something to add, are invited to take part.
Private View: Fri 9 Oct, 6-9pm
Luci Carnall, The Bevy
The Bevy- More Than a Pub
Luci Carnall
9–30 Oct, Various Times (Closed Saturday)
The Bevy, 50 Hillside, BN2 4TF
The photography documentation of The Bevy, the only community-owned pub on a housing estate in the UK, began at the beginning of 2026. With an awareness of the difference the pub makes to its community, the hope was to collaboratively capture all aspects and angles of it, with an emphasis of how connections are made and nurtured.
Open View: Fri 9 Oct, 6.30pm
Family Fun Day: Thu 15 Oct, 4-6pm
Cathy Mathias Generational Loop
Our View..
Brighton and Hove Camera Club
7–18 Oct, 11am-5pm (closed Mon & Tue),
35 North Gallery, BN1 1YB
In this exhibition, of over thirty club members, Brighton and Hove Camera Club explores the festival theme ‘Feedback Loop’, each in their own way. Most photographic styles are represented from street, nature, still-life and historic images.
Stephen Rendall, I Look My Age
If Men Had the Menopause It’d Be ‘Cured’ By Now
Stephen Rendall & Amy Tointon
10 & 11 Oct, 11am-5pm
Brighton Art Space, 1st Floor, BN1 1UL
An intimate, co-authored photographic collaboration exploring the physical and emotional shifts of midlife transition. Rather than framing bodily change as loss or decline, the exhibition celebrates resilience, self-possession, and the radical freedom of being fully seen.
Private View: Friday 9th October 6pm-9pm

Photo Fringe 2026 Symposium
Caught in the Loop: Photography, AI, and the Circulation of Images
Fri 30 Oct, 1-5pm
POST Creatives, BN3 3LW
A focused, research-led exploration of photography as a feedback loop of production, this symposium asks: how do images now produce further images? And what happens to photographic practice as it becomes increasingly entangled with systems of computation, data and institutional mediation?
Join us to explore these questions and consider how photography is being transformed by the systems through which images are made, encountered, circulated and remembered.
Photo Fringe 2026 Closing Party
Fri 30 Oct, 6-11pm
POST Creatives, BN3 3LW
Come celebrate the artists, collectives, venues and everyone who has made Photo Fringe 2026 possible.
As the festival draws to a close, we’ll celebrate the work and ideas that have shaped this year’s Feedback Loop, and announce the winner of the Danny Wilson Memorial Award, which recognizes an outstanding contribution to photography.
Expect drinks, good company, a DJ and a chance to dance the festival out together.
