Alan Raw Curator & CEO said:
“In just five years, HIP Fest has established its credentials as one of the most significant photography events in the Europe. We have worked hard to put together a stunning celebration of photography for 2018. I am particularly looking forward to welcoming Celine Marchbank and Marilyn Stafford to HIP Fest for the first time and after successfully curating PhotoCity London last year. I’m now able to bring the PhotoCity tradeshow and urban exhibition to Hull, along with a fabulous program of master classes from PhotoCity partners Fujiholics. There will be something for everyone and plenty to learn, do and enjoy.”
