Parr was artistic director of the newly established [[Bristol Photo Festival]], scheduled to open in 2021. However in July 2020 he quit, due to his involvement with a 2018 reissue of the photobook ''London'' by Gian Butturini, after a campaign by an [[anthropology]] student at [[University College London]], who called a pairing of photographs in it racist.<ref>{{cite news|first1=Steven|last1=Morris|access-date=2020-07-22|title=Martin Parr quits as director of Bristol Photo Festival over racism row|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/jul/21/martin-parr-quits-as-director-of-bristol-photo-festival-over-racism-row|newspaper=The Guardian|date=21 July 2020|issn=0261-3077|via=www.theguardian.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|access-date=2020-07-24|title='Right decision' for festival director to quit|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-53498584|newspaper=BBC News|date=24 July 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|access-date=2020-07-22|title=Martin Parr steps down as artistic director of Bristol Photo Festival after student's anti-racism campaign|url=http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/martin-parr-stood-down-from-bristol-photo-festival-after-student-anti-racism-campaign|website=[[The Art Newspaper]]|date=21 July 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|access-date=2020-07-24|title=Renowned Photographer Martin Parr Has Resigned as Artistic Director of the Bristol Photo Festival After Being Accused of Racial Insensitivity|url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/martin-parr-resigns-bristol-photo-racism-allegations-1896448|date=22 July 2020|website=artnet News}}</ref>
