f8. A celebration of analog photography.

25th- 27th April 2025

Discover the remarkable work of street photographer Vivian Maier, whose talent came to light after her photographs were found in a Chicago storage locker in 2007. Within a year, her images captivated the world—leading to global exhibitions, a devoted international following, and an Oscar-nominated documentary.

Hailey Moody curates this rare, noncommercial exhibition and offers a unique, immersive experience. It features Maier’s original black-and-white prints, vintage photos, rarely seen images, and darkroom artifacts—offering a personal look into her creative process.

With multi-projections, transparencies, and interactive selfie spots, the show goes beyond traditional displays to inspire and educate photographers and the public alike—honoring the legacy of a true photographic icon.
