Evidence of Existence: 2026 ICP Recent Graduates Exhibition

At the International Center of Photography in New York City, *Evidence of Existence: 2026 ICP Recent Graduates Exhibition* presents new work by emerging photographers at the start of their public careers. The show reads as a set of field notes on the present tense, moving between portraiture, landscape, and image-based research to ask what counts as proof, and who gets to be seen. In a city where photography is both industry and witness, this annual graduate exhibition functions as a local barometer. One thing it makes clear is how often contemporary images are built as arguments, not souvenirs.
