The Triennial of Photography Hamburg is an internationally acclaimed photography festival held every three years in collaboration with the city’s major museums, exhibition venues, and cultural institutions. Initiated in 1999 by German collector and photographer F.C. Gundlach, the festival has grown into one of Germany’s most significant photography events.
Each edition centres around a distinct curatorial concept, developed by rotating artistic leaderships. The exhibitions engage with highly topical issues and are accompanied by an extensive supporting programme featuring international and interdisciplinary symposia, artist talks, panels, lectures, and portfolio reviews.
The Artistic Director of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2026 is Prof. Dr. Mark Sealy. The 8th Triennial in 2022 was led by Artistic Director Koyo Kouoh, while the 7th Triennial in 2018 was curated by Krzysztof Candrowicz.
