Prix Pictet Hope, 2019
The world’s leading prize for photography and sustainability
The world’s leading prize for photography and sustainability
In its eighth cycle, the theme for 2019's prize was 'Hope'. Revealing how a mood of optimism can drive us towards change, the twelve shortlisted photographers had their work exhibited in the V&A's Porter Gallery.
This exhibition is now closed at V&A South Kensington
Perhaps in our ability to carry on in adversity lies hope for us all.
Kofi Annan (1938 – 2018), Honorary Founding President of Prix Pictet
