The Triennial of Photography Hamburg has taken place every three years since 1999, in collaboration with Hamburg’s major museums, exhibition houses, cultural institutions, galleries and other organisers. A large number of photo exhibitions under a common theme highlight current tendencies. Since 2014, the Triennial’s organisation has been led by the Deichtorhallen Hamburg GmbH.
