An Xposure Focus Group is a structured, small group session held during the Xposure festival programme, designed to facilitate in depth discussion around a specific theme within photography, film, or visual storytelling.

It is not a lecture. It is not a keynote presentation. It is an interactive forum.

Focus Groups typically bring together a limited number of participants with one or more industry experts, photographers, editors, curators, or filmmakers. The format encourages dialogue rather than passive listening. Attendees are expected to engage, question, challenge, and contribute.

Xposure Focus Groups serve three core functions. They provide direct professional insight from experienced practitioners, explore key themes aligned with the festival’s curatorial direction, and create a controlled setting that encourages meaningful peer discussion and potential long term collaboration.
