Ingrid Pollard – Hasselblad Award 2024

Visit the exhibition for this year’s Hasselblad Award winner Ingrid Pollard.

Ingrid Pollard is a leading British contemporary photographer and artist. She was born in 1953 in Georgetown, Guyana and grew up in London. She currently lives and works in Northumberland, Northeast England.

Pollard’s work interrogates and explores aspects of race and colonialism, often based on her experiences and research. She is particularly interested in how these issues are manifested in both urban spaces and landscapes. Central to her work is a fundamental interest in photography, its technical aspects, materiality, and potentials, as well as its historical use in the exercise of control and power.
