We are delighted to announce Raquel Villar-Pérez as the first Curatorial Fellow of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation. ✨📸

is a UK based scholar, writer, and curator whose work focuses on photography in relation to migration, transnational feminism, and questions of social and ecological justice. Working from decolonial and expanded photographic practices, she brings a strong research driven and international perspective to contemporary curatorial work.

As part of the two year Curatorial Fellowship, starting now, she will engage closely with the Art Collection Deutsche Börse. Her research will focus on identifying key narratives and thematic focal points within the collection, leading to the development of a detailed exhibition concept. Furthermore, she will propose new artistic positions, contributing to the ongoing expansion and diversification of the collection.

The Fellowship will culminate in a jointly curated exhibition in 2028 at our premises in Eschborn, followed by a presentation at another photography institution in Europe.
