Taken during the 2019 FIFA World Cup Qualifier in Tehran, Iran, this photo captures the first time, since 1980, Iranian women were allowed to watch football in the same stadium as men. This was a historic moment for Iranian women and very personal for photographer Maryam Majd @mariam_majdd, a sports photographer and long-time advocate for women’s rights.

@photography4humanity is an international initiative that calls on photographers around the world to bring the power of human rights to life through their images. The 2020 Global Prize Installation is currently on view at Fotografiska New York through January 24th, 2020. Our hope is that these images will inspire more photographers to document human rights issues around the world, and inspire all of us to personally take a stand against human rights violations. Following the month-long installation, the images will move on to be showcased globally via a virtual exhibit by the United Nations. ["Heroes 3", January 2020, Image Courtesy: Emeke Obanor]

Since we opened our doors in December 2019, we've used the power of photography to communicate important ideas and to turn people's attention to what they otherwise might ignore. Starting in June, we shared our platform with photographers who were on the frontlines—on the frontlines calling for justice for the murder of George Floyd and an end to poilice brutality, on the frontlines for the ongoing battle against COVID-19, and on the frontlines of climate change. Photographers @meldcole, @stevesweatpants, @coco.butter.shutter, @themunamalik, @simbarashecha, @darrellbooker, @timothyfadek, @alexkrowiak, @flongala shared their unfiltered voices, honest perspectives and impactful images on our social media platform. We're grateful for their participation in Photographers on The Frontlines and inspired by their bravery.
As we continue to look back at the past year since Fotografiska New York opened, we reflect on when "normal" life was first put on hold. Our circumstances required us to distance ourselves, to isolate from one another, to stop motion. At Fotografiska we believe in the power of photography to help us generate and nourish human connection. Through an initiative titled "Stop Motion," we called upon our community to help create a series of progressive photographs, documenting their experiences and emotions throughout this period of time when the world around us was put on a pause. We were overwhelmed with the fervor of our community's responses. Click the link in bio to view a collection of Stop Motion submissions.
Since our opening in December of 2019, the last twelve months have been anything but ordinary. When the world paused and many of us found ourselves at home, we created The Foto Sessions; a new digital exhibition space created to showcase incredible photography. In light of COVID-19 events, the museum temporarily closed its doors, but we wanted to continue to spotlight both aspiring and accomplished photographers via this online destination. The content hub has featured virtual galleries, artist interviews and profiles, audio recordings from previous live events, and community photography submissions, all designed to bring the museum and its signature programming into living rooms across the globe.

The celebration of our one year anniversary continues as we reflect upon a year of programming. The events program at Fotografiska New York is designed to create moments with the community, provide a space for self-expression, and explore themes central to the exhibitions on view. Throughout the year we've held photography walks, meditation sessions, game nights, panel discussions, film screenings, family portrait sessions, book talks, family fun days, and herbal medicine workshops—to name a few. What would you like to experience next year? #fotoanniversary
As we continue to celebrate our one year anniversary, we take a look back at some of our installation highlights. Our first installation at Fotografiska New York kicked off with "Amplifier" by @dannyclinch which included a performance with @lucindawilliams. Since then, we've continued to show inspiring and captivating work ranging from @josepharthur who moved (yes, he literally moved in!) into our sixth-floor for "Inhabiting"; @jimmarshall's "Show Me The Picture, @arielandsamsoto's "Disrupting Fatherhood", "ROAR: A Celebration of Protest Moments" by @ginnysuss @kishabari @tish_lambert_org, @aperture's Summer Open, and "Persist, Insist" by @larryfinkphoto. We can't wait to show you what's next. #fotoanniversary.
Join us as we take a look back at our opening exhibitions in this week's celebration of our one year anniversary. "Our first exhibitions will be referenced for years to come, and we wanted to start with a strong point of view,” said Amanda Hajjar, Director of Exhibitions for Fotografiska New York, “We wanted to challenge both our guests' perspectives and the traditional ideas of what can and should be shown within a museum-like setting.” Fotografiska New York's inaugural exhibitions featured @tawnychatmon, @ellenvonunwerth, @heleneschmitz @adi.nes.official, and Fotografiska For Life's debut exhibition in partnership with @time featuring @anastasiatl. #fotoanniversary

"We feel inspired by Studio Coppre’s copper carafes, designed by Milan-based Riccardo Giovanetti + Pune-based SĀR, handcrafted by artisans from Maharashtra, India. These drinking vessels imbue water with copper mineralization, Tamrajalas, offering ayurvedic healing properties. A wonderful collaboration between cultures, celebrating design and traditional craft, advocating health benefits, working with and helping local artisans, all these aspects make this product not just desirable but also into a symbol of respect and appreciation".— Cooper & Gorfer.

Tensions over race and racism are impacting every sphere of life in the United States. It is at this crucial moment that Andres Serrano is confronting us with some of the most shameful and painful racist images of the nation’s past. What does it mean to show these images of banal products decorated with racist caricature? And, specifically, to show them today?
In conversation with the artist, Svetlana Mintcheva, Director of Programs at the National Coalition Against Censorship, suggests that the display of these images may function in much the same way as recent protests: as an eruption of long suppressed anger and anguish. Disturbing as it is, looking at these images may constitute part of a healing process where the American historical narrative comes to include, openly, its cruel violence alongside its proud achievements.
Watch the conversation here.

Here's a glimpse of Cooper & Gorfer's documentary Between These Folded Walls, Utopia, a 15 minute short film featuring the stories of young women whose lives have been affected by forced migration. Fotografiska New York hosted the worldwide premiere of the film on October 21st where the artists joined us live from Sweden for a discussion and Q&A with Linnea Larsdotter, Creative Director and Founder of @niffofficial (Nordic International Film Festival). You can view their exhibition, Between These Folded Walls, Utopia at Fotografiska New York while it's on view through February 27th, 2021.
In this video, Julie Blackmon details the story behind Fake Weather- currently on view in her exhibition Fever Dreams at Fotografiska New York. The playfully staged scene in Fake Weather was inspired by the hotter than normal winter in her hometown of Springfield, Missouri during the time when the term “fake news” had found its way into the mainstream. Before she knew it, Blackmon found herself with 90 gallons of fake snow and her nieces ready to enjoy the icy scene. Fake Weather also comments on the increasing temperatures during winter months due to climate change. Visit us starting August 28th to see Fake Weather and more works in Fever Dreams.
Watch this video showing behind the scenes of the Jacob & Esau photograph. Some pictures I photograph in medium format while others I shoot with a large format camera. Since I still use film and am unable to touch-up the images in photoshop after they’ve been captured on film, every detail on the set is crucial. The images are blown-up to a very large size for exhibits, so viewers can even see the dust on shoes. At first, the people being photographed didn’t pass the bowl of food from one side of the table to the other in a convincing manner. Consequently, I worked with them for nearly two hours on this scene. Not only did those being photographed think I was crazy, but so thought the rest of my film crew! 📸 adi.nes.official
