The Thessaloniki PhotoBiennale 2018 presents to the public 21 exhibitions of Greek and international photography, of varying themes and photographic approaches, with the participation of 142 artists from many countries of the world.

At this year's event, the central exhibition entitled Capitalist Realism is curated by Penelope Petsini and assistant curator Fotis Milionis. Structured in two large sections hosted at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and the Thessaloniki Contemporary Art Center, the exhibition attempts to highlight issues that contribute to the emergence or exacerbation of economic crises in the international environment, on a contemporary and historical horizon.

This year's event, which marks the 30th anniversary of its founding, adopts some new ideas and practices for the festival
