Photography Club for People with Visual Impairments
In autumn 2025, the Hasselblad Foundation launches a photography club designed for people with visual impairments. The club offers a space for conversation, reflection, and creativity, where we will explore photography together, inspired by this year’s Hasselblad Award laureate, Sophie Ristelhueber.
Each session is audio described and takes place at the Hasselblad Center in the museum’s galleries outside of public opening hours, creating a calm and focused experience. All equipment is provided, and no prior knowledge is required—the emphasis is on curiosity, community, and discovering photography together.
