With more than 3000 works on display by a diverse group of artists from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, as well as archival, documentary and vernacular photographs from the last three centuries, the exhibition offers a global context to reflect on the divergent trajectories of photography and lens-based media today.

Drawn from its extensive holdings and curated entirely out of the Collection, the exhibition opens dynamic spaces for re-evaluation and re-interpretation by interweaving the works of these extraordinary photographers.
