What's on this week: 24-30 June

The Summer of Photography biennale kicks off with an exhibition celebrating the career of globetrotting American photographer Alex Webb.

The Suffering of the Light focuses on his two most celebrated series: One explores the changing face of the US-Mexico border since the 1970s, while the other is dedicated to Istanbul, the city where East meets West.
