“A World of Images”—that is the motto of the new Gallery of Photography (GAF) located on the grounds of the ice cream factory in the Südstadt neighborhood: photography that takes a critical look at society—photography that transports visitors to places beyond their usual perception.

The GAF showcases both classic and contemporary works, with a focus on promoting emerging artists. In addition to the exhibitions, lectures, book signings, workshops, and panel discussions are also planned. The Blue Hall on the grounds of the ice factory was selected as the gallery’s location. The redesign was conceived by Hannover-based architecture professor Bernd Rokahr. The approximately 260-square-meter gallery can accommodate up to 120 paintings, depending on their formats.

The GAF is organized by the Association for the Promotion of Photography in Hanover (Verein zur Förderung der Fotografie in Hannover e.V.), which also organizes the Lumix Festival for Young Photojournalism in collaboration with Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the FREELENS association. Every two years in June, the festival transforms the Expo grounds into a massive photo gallery that attracts more than 30,000 visitors.
