Kraszna-Krausz 2026 Photography Book Winners' Symposium

This year's free symposium brings together the prizewinner and shortlisted artists from the 2026 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award. The programme includes a presentation by the prizewinner Sasha Kurmaz, who won for Red Horse, an ongoing project launched after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine which takes the form of a visual diary, composed of daily collages made from personal documentary photos, found images, notes, drawings, and things found on the street. He is joined by shortlisted artists Janet Delaney and Hoda Afshar, alongside Lewis Chaplin (Loose Joints), designer and publisher of Afshar's book. Varied in topic, geography and style, the speakers will present their books and discuss the process of developing and publishing their projects. This will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Dr Marta Weiss, Curator of Photography at the V&A.
