World Press Photo & Doc Edge Immersive Exhibition 2026
Two World-Class Exhibitions. One Extraordinary Experience.
World Press Photo 2026
For 15 years the World Press Photo Exhibition has called Auckland home. Now, for the first time, these two world-class documentary platforms have joined forces and come together under one roof. The World Press Photo Exhibition is one of the most respected showcases of photojournalism on the planet, will present the work of awards winning photographers selected from over 57,000 entries across 142 countries.
Doc Edge Immersive Exhibition
Alongside it, the Doc Edge Immersive Exhibition invites you to step beyond the photograph and inside the story, through virtual reality, interactive installation and sensory driven experiences. Twelve projects, five New Zealand world premieres alongside seven international award-winning works. The works move through climate and loss, memory and migration, grief and devotion, dementia and depression, ritual and the strange weather of our digital lives. You can find the twelve projects’ synopses below.
