About
The Triennial of Photography Hamburg has taken place every three years since 1999 in cooperation with Hamburg's major museums, exhibition houses, cultural institutions, galleries, and other organisers, and is an important photo event with international appeal throughout Germany. The Triennial highlights current trends in photography and brings together a large number of photo exhibitions under a common theme. The Triennial is accompanied by an international, interdisciplinary symposium in the run-up to the event and a festival lasting several days in the summer of 2022. Since 2014, the Triennial of Photography Hamburg has been organized by Deichtorhallen Hamburg GmbH.
