We warmly invite you to the opening of the exhibitions “Jamel Shabazz. New York Vibes” and “Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2026”!

📅 2 September 2026
🕡 6:30 p.m.
📍 The Cube, Eschborn

“Jamel Shabazz: New York Vibes” offers, for the first time in Germany, a comprehensive insight into Shabazz’s multifaceted perspectives on life in New York during the 1980s and 1990s. On his walks through the predominantly African-American neighbourhoods of his hometown, he has taken countless portraits that are now icons of their era. Making the streets his studio, Jamel Shabazz captures the exuberant creativity of the young generation in vibrant images. Also included in the show are the lesser-known images taken during his many years of service as a correction officer on Rikers Island, reflecting on the realities of social marginalisation and exclusion.

At the same time, we present the exhibition of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2026, which we award annually in partnership with The Photographers' Gallery, London. This year’s finalists are Jane Evelyn Atwood, Weronika Gęsicka, Amak Mahmoodian and the winner, Rene Matić. The exhibition highlights the diversity of contemporary photographic practices represented by the shortlisted artists, ranging from classic black-and-white photography, collaborative projects, and immersive collage installations to AI-based works.

Come and celebrate the opening together with us and the artists, who will be joining us that night.

We are delighted to announce Raquel Villar-Pérez as the first Curatorial Fellow of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation. ✨📸

is a UK based scholar, writer, and curator whose work focuses on photography in relation to migration, transnational feminism, and questions of social and ecological justice. Working from decolonial and expanded photographic practices, she brings a strong research driven and international perspective to contemporary curatorial work.

As part of the two year Curatorial Fellowship, starting now, she will engage closely with the Art Collection Deutsche Börse. Her research will focus on identifying key narratives and thematic focal points within the collection, leading to the development of a detailed exhibition concept. Furthermore, she will propose new artistic positions, contributing to the ongoing expansion and diversification of the collection.

The Fellowship will culminate in a jointly curated exhibition in 2028 at our premises in Eschborn, followed by a presentation at another photography institution in Europe.
