Upcoming Exhibitions, Screenings, and Workshops

  • Fotofest Biennial 2026 newly commissioned film for a live performance by the Galveston Symphony Orchestra!

The new film draws upon Eadweard Muybridge’s 1870's motion studies and imagery from his seminal book The Horse in Motion. During the Galveston Symphony’s orchestral performance of Philip Glass' The Photographer: Act II, the video will present familiar animated and still imagery from Muybridge’s Animal Locomotion series while also highlighting the locations where these motion studies were created. The piece reveals the history, labor and experimentation behind this pioneering work in photographic history.

Tickets and more information available here.

One performance only: Sunday, April 19, 2026 | 4–6 PM in Galveston, Texas.
