Following the popularity of last year’s foto/pods deployment, and the runaway success of Photoville, United Photo Industries returned to the DUMBO Arts Festival with foto/pods 2012 – a hamlet of shipping container exhibitions, tents, outdoor projections and much much more along a strip on Main Street, DUMBO.

Committed to ensuring community participation, we invited photographers and curators to submit ideas and proposals and the response was both exhilarating and humbling. With over 100 powerful proposals to chose from, we knew we had no choice but to nearly double this year’s foto/pods line-up to seven containers (from 4 last year), which allowed us the necessary space to present more of these incredible projects.
