4/25 – 4/28: MEDIUM Festival of Photography

We welcome the return of in-person programming and a celebration of our 12th annual festival from April 25 to April 28, 2024

Join us for mind-expanding experiences, educational workshops, and southern California’s premier celebration of contemporary artists using photography. Most festival events take place at the Marriott Courtyard Old Town. We will have a dedicated parking lot on Saturday, April 27 in addition to public transit options by train, light rail, and bus. Our 2024 Keynote Lecture with Cara Romero takes place at the San Diego Central Library, downtown.

Join Medium Photo and the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art for a screening of Thomas Allen Harris’ film Through a Lens Darkly.  This is the first documentary to explore the role of photography in shaping the identity, aspirations, and social emergence of African Americans from slavery to the present. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director, Thomas Allen Harris.
