Past dates

»Currency« is the theme of the 8th Triennial of Photography Hamburg, examining the production and global dissemination of images and their influence on social power relations and viewing patterns. Within this framework and together with Haus der Photographie/ Deichtorhallen, International Summer Festival will show works by young photographers who are part of the European funding platform »Futures« and who deal with exclusion, belonging and empowerment from systems of oppression from different perspectives. They show vulnerability and strength, fear and joy, alienation and community and produce new images about queerness, Blackness or migrant and Eastern European identity. BUT I’M AWAKE refers to a state of vigilance in times of political and social crisis and to a productive subversion of existing power relations and dominant visual habits.

With: Maria Babikova (*1990 in Chelyabinsk, Russia, lives in London), Euridice Zaituna Kala (*1987 in Maputo, lives in Paris), Julie Poly (*1986 in Stakhanov, Ukraine, lived until recently in Kiev), David Uzochukwu (*1998 in Innsbruck, lives in Vienna and Berlin), Julie Poly (*1986 in Stakhanov, Ukraine, lived in Kiev until recently) and Agnieszka Sejud (*1991 in Wroclaw, lives in Wroclaw).

On August 11th there will be a guided tour with the curator and the artists at 18:30.
