Photography 4 Humanity and Fotografiska Launch Global Open Call: HOME

Photography 4 Humanity, in partnership with the world-renowned photography museum Fotografiska, has launched HOME, a global open call inviting photographers everywhere to explore one of the most universal—and most fragile—ideas of our time. In a world shaped by climate disruption, conflict, migration, and displacement, HOME asks emerging artists to capture what home means today: a place of safety, belonging, identity, memory, or loss. Presented with global partner United Natons Human Rights, submissions are open March 12 through July 12, 2026.


Selected photographs will be exhibited at United Nations Headquarters in New York on Human Rights Day, December 10, 2026, in Gallery A—one of the UN’s most prominent public spaces—where diplomats, global leaders, and international visitors will encounter the work. The exhibition, guest curated by legendary documentary photographer James Nachtwey, will also be shared globally through UN.org, bringing the meaning of home into the heart of the international human rights conversation.
