eidolon centre for Everyday Photography is calling artists, academics, enthusiasts, and professionals, who have a passion and serious interest in vernacular photography and everyday imaging for the eidolon Grant 2026.
The eidolon Grant aims to identify phenomena, collections, histories, practices, and trends within vernacular photography with the aim of offering new interpretations and analyses. Thematising both photographic heritages and contemporary photographic practices is eidolon’s mission.
Each chosen project will contribute to the enrichment of the institution’s programme in the coming year.
The goal is to equally represent the vast range of past everyday photographic practices while also raising awareness of the significance of contemporary image culture. They aim to highlight how historical photographic traditions continue to shape society and visual communication today, while exploring the impact of emerging digital and social media practices on current visual trends and societal narratives.
