The International Center of Photography (ICP) presents Evidence of Existence: 2026 ICP Recent Graduates Exhibition, bringing together work by the graduating class in over 10 years with 87 graduates from over 30 countries that comprise three of ICP’s education programs: the full-time, onsite One-Year Certificate Programs in Creative Practices and Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism and the Teen Academy Imagemakers program. Curated by Sara Ickow, ICP’s Associate Director of Exhibitions, this year’s graduates desired to turn our attention toward what is often overlooked or out of reach, while exploring how photography can give form to the unseen. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
The Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism program focuses on the investigative skills and technical knowledge necessary for students to advance in the complex and constantly changing world of visual storytelling. Participants explore the history of visual journalism; develop new and challenging technical skills in still photography and related media; learn strategies for publication; and create long-term documentary projects that examine the human experience.
