Zest For Life

It can flow, it can run, it can soothe, it can… What can it not do? And what can we..?
 

An international group of artists are presenting an explorative body of work on the topic of their relationships with water. Their photographic art is reflecting on the aspects which are carrying the most emotional charge and meanings in a wide range of settings.
 

The special guest of the show Thames Festival Trust and Port of London Authority are supporting the exhibition by presenting their Winners and Runners up, for the Thames Lens 2022 in the following categories: Architecture; Landscape; Nature; People & the River.'
 

Thames Lens is an annual photography competition inviting non-professional photographers to travel onto and by the river to capture unique shots of the River Thames. Supported by Port of London Authority.
