Photo Grant Deloitte 2026
Free show of the winning photographers of the 2026 Deloitte Photo Grant, an international award for contemporary documentary photography, in the Impluvium.

In 2018 Tehran's morality police put Atefe Moeini in a car for wearing ripped jeans, a red scarf and a long coat. For Go Live she photographs other women who were arrested or warned for their clothes, dressed in the outfits that got them stopped. The title comes from a tattoo on one of them, Tina.
That's one of three projects in the fourth Deloitte Photo Grant show, on the first floor's Impluvium. The main one is Maria Turchenkova's Numb State, shot on trips across Russia since 2014. You keep meeting the same scene: passengers asleep on the Trans-Siberian while towns and factories built by Gulag prisoners pass the window. Artistic director Denis Curti notes that the war is never shown at its most violent. Angela Ponce's AYLLU, on Andean families near Cusco, is only a preview, and the finished work returns next year.
Entry is free with a ticket booked online. Expect hard subjects: Soviet labour camps, the war in Ukraine, women punished for what they wear.
Look for
The sleepers on the Trans-Siberian
Look for Turchenkova's recurring shots of passengers deep asleep on the train, with stations and factories built by Gulag prisoners sliding past outside.
Go Live portraits in the incriminated clothes
Iranian women arrested or warned over their dress pose in those same clothes, some with faces shown, others choosing to stay anonymous.
Before the Fall
Moeini's newest chapter, made in Iran and the US between 2019 and 2026, brings hijabs, school uniforms and fabrics from her childhood into the portraits.
Good for
- Cheap Culture
- Rainy Days
Skip if
