Transphotographiques
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Festivals
Every year, or biannually, Transphotographiques runs exhibitions, workshops, conferences, and educational programs in the Lille area. For each festival, the work of a special guest (invité d'honneur) – or marraine (godmother)[5][6] or parrain (godfather)[7] – "defines that year's theme".[8] It is chaired by Bertrand de Talhouët, managed by Olivier Spillebout and organized in partnership with the magazine Photo, and runs from mid May to mid June.

Partnerships
One part of the work of Transphotographiques is to promote the work of local photographers.[38] It is part of Photo Festival Union, a European network of photography festivals.[39]
A month-long exhibition in Stary Browar, Poznań in 2008, Kolekcja Transphotographiques, was a retrospective of the first seven years of Transphotographiques.[5][38]
