A Collaboration between The Phoblographer, Corse Design, Mallon Productions, and Culture Lab LIC
The First Ever 5 Boro Foto Fest Brings Local Photographers and Authenticity; Only Original Prints and Guaranteed No Generative AI.
5 Boro Foto Fest aims to do for the arts something that hasn’t been done before: giving local photographers their own artist’s alley-type festival for them to bring authenticity to the masses.
Joining the photographers will be galleries, photo collectives, and indie storefronts will gather to exhibit printed collectibles for sale. These include fine art prints, zines, books, mixed media, and various other ways that photographs are brought to life.
“I’ve been looking around at the world of photography and saw the threat that generative AI poses to replace us,” said Chris Gampat, the founder and Editor in Chief of the Phoblographer as well as the founder of the 5 Boro Foto Fest. “This event is designed to remind people that photographers are capable of making your jaw drop with moments that you don’t even notice every day.”
The 5 Boro Foto Fest, which has free entry, will bring together both new and famous photographers along with galleries, inclusive collectives, and even some of your favorite bookstores that sell art books. Expect to take home prints to hang on your wall, zines to keep by your desk, books to adorn on your coffee table, and other artistic creations using photographs.
Sunday, Oct 25, 11am – 6pm
