Photography exhibitions that inspire people to visit, stay awhile, explore and re ect form the cornerstone of any photography festival. Challenges lie in organising a photography festival in times of massive restrictions on public and cultural life. With a few adjustments, it still works: Photoszene Festival becomes Photoszene United this year, and 10 days in May becomes a whole summer of photography, full of art and an extensive supporting program.
With the assistance of the "dive in. Programme for Digital Interactions" of the Federal Cultural Foundation, promoted by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BRM) in the NEUSTART KULTUR programme, we have been able to innovatively transpose exciting ideas and exhibition visits to the digital realm – all packaged in a visit to the virtual Photoszene City, which goes online on 21 May at www.photoszene.de! Over 80 photography exhibitions in Cologne are now set up and waiting to open. The decreasing incidence value in Cologne gives hope that this can happen soon! First, Photoszene United starts digitally into the Opening Weekend. On www.photoszene.de the virtual Photoszene City invites you to discover the program variety of Photoszene United! On May 21, 2021, the doors will open to the kiosk, the bar "chez lumiére" and the New Photo - Kunsthalle für Fotografie. The Photoszene City was inspiringly realized by ENP Studio.
The Opening Weekend on 21-23 May marks the launch of a photography summer that will close on the International Day of Photography on 19 August. To round off, on 19 August Photoszene will be opening two exhibitions on young contemporary photography with "You are here" and "Beyond II". | | | | | |  | | | | © Photoszene | | | | | | ARTIST MEETS ARCHIVE#2

Release of L.Fritz #7 Magazine of Photoszene
The 7th issue of L. Fritz is coming out on 21 May under the title, "Crisis in Photography". The title reflects both the role of photography in global crises and conflicts, and the paradoxical situation in which the medium itself finds itself: Never have so many photos been produced as today while, at the same time, the individual image has suffered a massive loss in value. To mark the release of the seventh issue of L. Fritz, there will be an online interview between Jörg Colberg and Damian Zimmermann on the new issue’s leading theme.
The current issue will be on display and free of charge at the Cologne exhibition venues. It can also be acquired at train station bookshops or individually ordered from International Photoszene Köln.
June to August 2021
Walk&Talk Artist Meets Archive#2
Insights into the exhibitions and live conversations with the artists (online or, if possible, in person). Either alone or with the artists or the archive directors, Inga Schneider, programme director Artist Meets Archive, offers a tour through the exhibitions.
Walk & Talk starts on 3 June 2021 with a visit to the exhibition "Image Cycle" by Philipp Goldbach. Live from the Chapel at the Gereonskloster, Cologne.
21 – 30 May 2021
"Does Climate Change need New Images?"
Exhibition, talks, panel discussion and children’s workshop in partnership with CityLeaks Urban Arts Festival and Slideluck Editorial
28 May // 7 p.m.
Fotobuch-Quartett+
The Fotobuch-Quartett+ has invited guests again for Photoszene United! Fondly and benignly one moment, cuttingly and controversially the next, but always competently, Nadine Preiß (photographer, Internationale Photoszene Köln) along with Oliver Rausch and Frank Dürrach (both teachers at Fotoakademie-Koeln and authors on photography) discuss publications from the vast universe of the photobook together with Simone Klein (art consultant, curator, photo auctioneer) and Thomas Gust (teacher in photobooks and photography history, publisher).
Photoszene Livingroom
In the Photoszene-Livingroom - initially as an online format - the individual players in Cologne’s photography scene will have their say. Here we meet the artists, discuss with the curators and dive deeper into the exhibitions.
Photoszene On Ear: The podcast in cooperation with "dieMotive" Photoszene is looking forward to six podcast episodes in cooperation with Alexander Hagmann from "dieMotive", which will deal more specifically with the program of Photoszene United.
Exhibitions parallel to Photoszene United
More than 80 exhibitions on photography in Cologne show in this special year not only the diversity of photographic practice in this city with a long tradition of photography, but above all that the scene is just waiting to finally become active again.
