For its 25th anniversary edition, the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize exhibition will show the work of four shortlisted artists in an exhibition opening at The Photographers Gallery this week. From China, Algeria, India and Mexico this year’s prize brings together projects by Poulomi Basu, Alejandro Cartagena, Cao Fei and Zineb Sedira for a three-month exhibition culminating with the announcement of the competition’s winner and recipient of its £30,000 prize.

Curated by TPG’s Anna Dannemann, the exhibition’s urgent and socially engaged themes will be supplemented by an accompanying programme of talks and events, including presentations from all the shortlisted artists and a fully illustrated catalogue of newly commissioned essays on each series. Below we introduce the artist and their nominated work.
