This free exhibition of photography includes works by an array of domestic and international talent.FIX Photo celebrates the many facets of the medium in all its guises. Accompanied by pop-ups and a programme of events, there are creative discoveries for everyone.In this, the second year of the festival, FIX Photo is curated in response to the consequences of the dramatic political shifts of 2016. Exhibiting artists will issue a positive challenge to the social and cultural divisions of the past year through the presentation of work connected by four key themes:Identity,Community,Unity & HarmonyandEnvironment.Displaying work by established artists as well as new talent, FIX Photo is committed to giving emerging artists the opportunity to share their work outside of a traditional gallery context. Hosted over four floors alongside the Thames, this unique display in a building full of character offers an idiosyncratic contrast to a formal white space. Situated within the heart of the cultural centre of London, FIX Photo aims to encourage new audiences to photography as the ultimate democratising medium in the arts. FIX Photo promises a visual treat for audiences and a variety as broad as the medium itself.FIX Photo will explore these themes through fine art photography, photojournalism, street photography and portraiture and fully embrace the diversity and inclusivity of the medium. Exhibiting the highest standard of work artists will celebrate the scope of talent on the photographic scene. This exhibition will also include the premier viewing of Chris Steele-Perkins current ‘The New Londoners’ project - exploring London’s diversity through family portraits inside people’s homes of almost 200 Nationalities residing in the capital.Featuring artists from four continents - each with their own unique view of the world, including:Zaklina Anderson, Susan Barnett, Richard Bram, Brittain Bright, Alicia Bruce, Carlotta Cardana, Mike Crawford, Yvonne De Rosa, Giovanna Del Sarto, Elaine Duigenan, Jessa Fairbrother, Mischa Haller, Sandra Jordan, Grant Legassick, Holly Lynton,  Celine Marchbank, Christian Nilson, Robert D.

Scottish artist Alicia Bruce will speak about her experiences when making ‘Menie TRUMPED’, a exploring the Menie Estate residents’ protested against Donald Trump’s planned golf course, which now is finished and heavily monitored even on the public pathways which intersect it. 
Premiering Yvonne De Rosa’s latest work ‘Albania Available For Rent’ took her to the same places pictured in found photographs taken after the Italian-German military occupation of and subsequent independence in the country. These images coupled with De Rosa’s responses as an Italian open a dialogue with history past, present and future. 
Elaine Duigenan will discuss her practice of the extraordinary use of twist ties to recreate some of the iconic photographs of plant structures by the German artist Karl Blossfeldt. Her series ‘Blossfeldt’s Apprentice’ truly shows her embracing of the ‘object’ in photography literally and metaphorically.
Award winning artist Jessa Fairbrother explores the familiar and the personal, where yearning and performance meet each other in photography. Discussing her work exploring the relationship she had with her mother, and her own inability to become one. Fairbrother’s pieces are sculptural and pierced with pins and embroidery, hers is a photographic performance of being cut from the role of daughter while at the same time denied a maternal role to shape her future. 
Swedish photographer Christian Nilson will discuss his acclaimed series, ‘The Swiss’and his perspective as an immigrant in Switzerland to a wide variety of subjects that show his love of his adopted country in all its conflicted complexity—the traditional and the innovative, the spectacular, the humorous and the mundane. Copies of his book Limited Edition book will also be available for signing after the event priced at £100 Edition of 100 with an A5 print.
