In 2022, under the new leadership of Danaé Panchaud, museologist and curator specialising in photography, the Centre de la photographie Genève has been developing a new approach, which has certain affinities with the orientation of the last two decades. Its programme defends the emancipatory potential of photography, particularly as a means of self-expression and of writing or reclaiming one’s own story. It investigates the power dynamics that run through images, deconstructing and reappropriating them. Finally, it explores photography as a tool for investigating and constructing knowledge about the world. This programme pays particular attention to diversity and representativeness of the viewpoints to which it gives space and visibility. It is committed to presenting artists who have not yet been widely exhibited in institutions in regard to the quality of their work, at every stage of their careers. Its focus remains on contemporary photography, from local, Swiss and international artists.

In parallel to its exhibition programmes, the Centre de la photographie Genève has been developing since autumn 2022 an ambitious cultural education programme for school audiences, and programmes of events for professional artists and photographers, and adult audiences. The programme for schoolchildren aims to explore the various issues related to images in society, and encourages visual and digital literacy. The activities for professional artists and photographers are designed to effectively support their practice through workshops, talks and mentoring programmes, supporting the development of their personal projects. Finally, events for adult audiences explore a range of issues related to the role of photography in society. In addition, its publishing programme was overhauled in 2024, resulting in the collection Superscripte, a series of concise and accessible thematic books in French on contemporary photography.

Since May 2025 and throughout the renovation period of the Bâtime d’art contemporain (2025-2028), the Centre de la photographie Genève has continued its programme of temporary exhibitions at Espace Ami-Lullin, located on the ground floor of the Bibliothèque de Genève, in the Parc des Bastions in the heart of Geneva.

At the same time, it is developing its outreach activities through partnerships with cultural, social and public health organisations, including, for example, the exhibition programme at Maison de l’enfance et de l’adolescence, which it has led since August 2024. He continues and expands his education activities, aimed at adult, school and professional audiences, as well as his editorial projects, with the annual publication of two books in the collection Superscripte.
