The City does not yet have a reputation as a leisure or business tourism destination and there is a significant opportunity for growth. To improve as a destination the city must promote a unique Derby identity and support developments that improve the visitor experience. The demise of the RDA’s and no apparent clarity on government funding for tourism has created a great deal of uncertainty around how the visitor economy will be managed going forward. However, with a new national government policy on tourism and a new marketing strategy from VisitEngland, together with the introduction of a new ‘Derby Plan’, the time is right to identify the best opportunity for Derby and tie it into the wider plans to take full benefit of opportunities as they emerge.

    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.
