Photography plays a central and key role in contemporary artistic production.
Deloitte’s Photo Grant, under the artistic direction of Denis Curti, aims to stimulate social reflection and, through intellectual awareness, promotes the theme Proximities, offering two grants totaling 75,000 euros.
With this initiative, Fondazione Deloitte seeks to provide concrete support for contemporary cultural production and establish itself as an observatory of the emerging artistic landscape.
Deloitte’s Photo Grant aims to visually document the daily struggles for the advancement of human rights (for everyone, with no exceptions) and, at the same time, the rejection of all forms of discrimination.
Through the photographic language, the goal is to give a voice to those who are often unheard, laying the groundwork for the creation of a free space dedicated to dialogue, where images can significantly contribute to fostering a constructive discussion on an urgent and relevant issue.
The winner of the 2025 edition is Carlos Idun-Tawiah with his project Hero, Father, Friend.
