Exhibitions + Lectures + Workshops + Education Programs

The Society for Humanistic Photography (Gesellschaft für Humanistische Fotografie – GfHF) promotes engaged auteur photography that focuses on socially relevant issues since its foundation in 2006. In solo and group exhibitions, realized in collaboration with museums and cultural institutions in Germany and abroad, as well as in the public sphere, the GfHF presents the works of both renowned and emerging contemporary photographers.

In April 2017 we opened our own exhibition venue. f³ – freiraum für fotografie presents five to six exhibitions of international author photography per year on 200 sqm near Oranienplatz in Berlin-Kreuzberg. In addition, regular discussions with photographers, discussion events and workshops take place.

provides Berlin with a new location for photography that invites visitors to explore current issues relating to the medium. In today's confusing flood of images and media, the exhibitions in f³ – freiraum für fotografie set important accents in terms of content and aesthetics and interfere in the public discussion of social issues. Accompanying educational and information programmes invite all visitors to delve deeper into the contents and provide well-founded background information.
