The Act On Your Future Foundation (AOYF), in partnership with the Centre de la photographie Genève (CPG), invites artists from around the world to apply for the 7th AOYF Human Rights Photography Prize, under the theme “Post-Truth: Reality in Question.”
Facts have never been easier to verify, and never easier to dismiss. Images circulate instantly, algorithms shape what reaches us, and artificial intelligence can generate content increasingly difficult to distinguish from reality. At the same time, authentic images, established facts and victims’ testimonies can themselves be dismissed as fabricated.
Yet questioning a dominant narrative is not disinformation. Doubt, contradiction and different points of view remain essential to a free society. Photography lies at the heart of this tension: it can document, reveal and bear witness, but also frame, transform and manipulate.
At a time when reality itself is increasingly contested, what can we believe, and who shapes the reality we see? What can artists reveal, challenge or imagine within this uncertainty?
The Prize invites artists to explore these questions through documentary, conceptual, experimental and interdisciplinary approaches. Projects may engage with evidence and testimony, manipulated or AI-generated imagery, contested histories, propaganda, the circulation of images, or personal experiences of realities that others dispute.
