The 2017 edition of FIX Photo included 23 artists, with "over 300 pieces showcased along ten rooms and four floors". [9] It was curated in response to the consequences of the dramatic political shifts of 2016. [10]

The British Journal of Photography described the show as mixing "well-established photographers with little-known or emerging artists, and is gathered into four categories – identity, community, harmony & unity, and environment".
