FFF AKADEMIE Workshop: Francesca Hummler »Achtsames Selbstporträt: Objekte, Archive und Identität« 📅 Samstag/Sonntag, 09./10.05.2026 ⏰ 10–17 Uhr 📍 Fotografie Forum Frankfurt Wie lässt sich das eigene Ich fotografisch erforschen? Was erzählen Bilder über Erinnerung, Identität und Zugehörigkeit? Im Fokus steht die Kamera als Werkzeug der Beobachtung und Selbstbefragung, mit einem Ansatz, der Achtsamkeit, persönliche Erfahrung und visuelles Denken verbindet. Durch Übungen und praktische Bildarbeit entwickeln die Teilnehmenden eigene Bildserien zu Themen wie Identität, Erinnerung und Zugehörigkeit. Der Workshop ist inspiriert von Positionen u. a. von Jo Spence, Rosy Martin und Marianne Hirsch. Francesca Hummler ist Teil der kommenden Internationalen Gruppenausstellung Gen Z: Shaping A New Gaze (09.05–30.08.2026) im FFF.

« Our Dollhouse (Unsere Puppenstube) » (2021 ) by @fransangle 🏠 Francesca Hummler has photographed her younger sister for over thirteen years, developing a practice rooted in photo-therapy that helps her sister build self-confidence, navigate her identity as a young Black girl in a German-American family, and confront insecurities common in adolescence. Centered around a multigenerational dollhouse the sisters furnished together, the work affirms her sister’s rightful place in the family’s lineage despite ignorant objections. This project is part of the group show « Family Stories » - curated by @gabriela_torres_freyermuth 👉 on view until May 17th 🕒 Visit us from Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm–6pm

“In Memoriam” is now open through until 1 April at The Fitzrovia Chapel, London! A new photographic piece created in response to the history of the former Middlesex Hospital and its chapel. The presentation centers on a single work from my ongoing series “Rituals (2021–ongoing)”. “Emma in the Character of a Nun (Interview with Jane Bruton)” draws on an interview with HIV nurse Jane Bruton, whose words are printed directly onto a nun’s habit worn by the model. Her reflections on care during the AIDS crisis become both image and material, tracing the emotional realities faced by healthcare workers at a time marked by stigma, fear, and uncertainty.
