The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation is a charitable organisation based in Frankfurt/Main, Germany dedicated to collecting, exhibiting and promoting contemporary photography. The foundation holds several exhibitions a year and supports artists, curators and writers internationally through awards, scholarships and other opportunities. Their collection currently comprises over 2,400 photographic works by 170 artists, whose visual languages are as diverse as their backgrounds, age, or creative methodologies – moving fluidly between different genres and territories.

The two-year Curatorial Fellowship is designed to support mid-career curators in advancing their research-led exhibition organising practice and professional growth. It not only offers the opportunity to co-curate and collaboratively realise an exhibition project in partnership with us but also to contribute actively to shaping the development of their collection.

Curatorial Fellowship expected outcomes:

1. Developing an exhibition concept including 6 – 10 potential acquisition proposals
2. Writing a curatorial introduction essay to accompany the exhibition(s)
3. Installing & opening the exhibitions, including up to two public engagement talks
