New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging
September 14, 2025, through January 17, 2026
The Museum of Modern Art announces New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging, the 40th anniversary edition of MoMA’s celebrated New Photography series. On view from September 14, 2025, through January 17, 2026, this exhibition will bring together a group of 13 international artists and collectives, from four different cities around the world, who are expanding the horizons of the photographic medium in the 21st century. Each at various stages in their careers, these artists will be presenting these bodies of work for the first time in New York. Their creative contributions interweave personal narratives with structural, environmental, and colonial histories to consider forms of belonging that shape communities.
Presenting their work at MoMA for the first time, the artists and collectives include Sandra Blow, Tania Franco Klein, and Lake Verea (Francisca Rivero-Lake and Carla Verea), who live and work in Mexico City; Gabrielle Goliath, Lebohang Kganye, Sabelo Mlangeni, and Lindokuhle Sobekwa, who live and work in Johannesburg; Nepal Picture Library, Sheelasha Rajbhandari, and Prasiit Sthapit, who live and work in Kathmandu; and L. Kasimu Harris, Renee Royale, and Gabrielle Garcia Steib, who live and work in New Orleans.
