Photographer Ingrid Pollard is the 2024 Hasselblad Award Laureate, earning nearly $200,000, an exhibition, and flagship camera kit.
Guyana-born and England-raised photographer Ingrid Pollard is this year’s Hasselblad Award Recipient. Pollard, an internationally acclaimed photographer, receives a Hasselblad flagship camera and lenses, a unique gold medal, and SEK 2,000,000 — over $196,000.
Pollard was born in Georgetown, Guyana, in 1953 and grew up in London, England. Her work on colonialism and race was first exhibited in 1984 in London, and the photographer’s debut solo exhibition was just a few years later in 1988. Alongside dozens of exhibitions, her work is featured in collections at museums around the world, and the artist has received many awards and commissions in the last 30-plus years.
During her early career in the 1980s, Pollard worked at the Lenthall Road Workshop in East London. In addition to offering photography and screen-printing courses, this organization was heavily involved in political activism, including feminist, anti-racist, and gay rights causes. It was an important and powerful space for marginalized people in the area. Further, the experimental and creative approach to photography Pollard learned at Lenthall Road carried through to the rest of her career.
“Ingrid Pollard’s extensive body of work addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time,” explains Kalle Sanner, CEO of the Hasselblad Foundation. “We are delighted and honored that she is the 44th Hasselblad Award winner and to present her work to a large audience in Scandinavia.” Ingrid Pollard will be formally honored at an awards ceremony in Gothenburg, Sweden, on October 11, 2024. That same day, an exhibition of her work will open at the Hasselblad Center alongside a new publication about Pollard’s life and work. The ceremony will include a concert with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Sweden’s national orchestra.
