Urban explorers, drone pilots, squatters and activists will take centre stage for the fifth edition of the Brighton Photo Biennial.

BPB12 is concerned with photography as both a tool and a process - a means of understanding the world and an active force in shaping it.

There's a range of events, talks and workshops at the festival.
