Ten angles, one conversation

Decagon is a contemporary photography platform rooted in Brooklyn, with an interest in what exists behind the photograph - the reason for making it, and the person who made it.

We see photography as a bridge between the seen and the unseen; a way of giving form to memory, wonder and imagination. Founded by John Manno and guided by Curator & Artistic Director Teona Machavariani, the gallery exists to celebrate diverse voices and to create accessible spaces where every photograph can shine.

Our mission is to support photographers who are expanding visual language and redefining the possibilities of the medium today. By showcasing a wide range of artists, we create space for deeper engagement with the ongoing conversation surrounding contemporary photographic practice.
