    1 3 All artists are alike. They dream of doing something that’s more social, more collaborative, and Introduction more real than art. Dan Graham Welcome to the 2017 edition of FORMAT International Photography Festival. FORMAT presents a curated selection of the best emerging international talent, alongside the masters of photography, for audiences to see, debate and engage with. Founded in 2004, FORMAT is focused on the best of what photography is and can be. FORMAT17 is the biggest and most ambitious edition to date. Situated in venues across Derby and beyond, it has quickly established itself as a must-see event in the international cultural calendar. For FORMAT17, we have curated a programme that explores Louise Clements Louise the theme of HABITAT, through a selection of outstanding photography that documents the world around us. This theme will open up the diverse range of experiences and stories that comprise our complex existences, including flora, fauna, landscapes and digital lives. For this year’s festival we wanted to expose the solutions and conditions of the state that humanity is in, on micro and macro levels, including work that considers our short and long term impact on the world locally and worldwide. Human action, smart as well as stupid, now affects the biology, meteorology and geology of the planet. The tangible impacts of these changes are recorded in the world’s geography, politics, conflicts, migrations, plants, oceans and wildlife. Human-made changes in the environment, industry, technology, warfare, migration and climate are occurring at such unprecedented rates that the impact on the Earth has pushed us into a new cultural geological era known as the Anthropocene.
