activist Issa Amro. Broomberg's work often explores themes of conflict, power, and how these themes all intersect with the photographic medium. Eyal Weizman described his practice as “hacking into the source code of photography.” He is known for challenging existing power structures and using art as a means of fostering social change. His practice has been described as both provocative and thought-provoking, encouraging viewers to critically examine their perspectives and confront uncomfortable truths. Despite his prolific career, including numerous solo exhibitions including at The Centre Georges Pompidou (2018) and the Hasselblad Center (2017), his participation in international group shows include the Venice Biennale (2024), Yokohama Trienniale (2017), Documenta, Kassel (2017), The British Art Show 8 (2015-2017), Conflict, Time, Photography at Tate Modern (2015); Shanghai Biennale (2014); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2014); Tate Britain (2014), and the Gwanju Biennale (2012), his work being held in major public and private collections including Pompidou, Tate, MoMA, Yale, Stedelijk, V&A, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Cleveland Museum of Art, and Baltimore Museum of Art, he remains committed to challenging existing power structures and using art as a means of fostering social change.

Early life and education

He grew up in a politically charged environment during the

where he was sent to Zionist Jewish religious school, which profoundly influenced his later artistic practice. Broomberg’s upbringing in a racially and ethnically segregated society shaped his awareness of social inequalities and fueled his desire to challenge dominant narratives through his work. In 1998, Broomberg received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and History of Art from the

University of the Witwatersrand The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (), commonly known as Wits University or Wits, is a multi-campus Public university, public research university situated in the northern areas of central Johannesburg, South Africa. The universit ...

. His education in South Africa during the post-apartheid transition further informed his critical perspective on power dynamics and representation, themes that would become central to his artistic practice.

Teaching and academic career

Broomberg was professor of photography at the Hochschule für bildende Künste (HFBK) in Hamburg, Germany, from 2015 to 2021. He briefly held the position of visiting professor at Karlsruhe (HfG) from October 2024 which was cut short due to his vocal solidarity with the Palestinian struggle and criticism of Zionism. He is a faculty member on MA programme, Photography & Society at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in the Hague. Broomberg's commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as he frequently leads workshops and lectures at international institutions.

Collaboration with Oliver Chanarin

In the early 2000s, Adam Broomberg formed a creative partnership with fellow artist Oliver Chanarin, who was born in

Founding of Linx

At the age of 16, Adam Broomberg co-founded a political organisation called \"Linx\" in

and race

In 2013, Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin \"spent a month in South Africa\" to highlight the racial bias in photographic technology during the Apartheid era. They used decades-old film engineered primarily for white faces to create their work. They employed Polaroid's vintage ID-2 camera, which included a \"boost\" button to increase the flash intensity, allowing it to photograph black people for the notorious passbooks, or \"dompas,\" used by the state to control their movements.

Spirit is a Bone

Another collaborative project with Oliver Chanarin, ''Spirit is a Bone,'' critiques facial recognition technology, particularly in

Hands off our Revolution

In 2016, Broomberg criticised the art market for continuing \"business as usual\" following the election of

. To counter modern fascism, he created \"Hands off our Revolution,\" a collaborative web-based art project involving artists, thinkers, and researchers. The project’s manifesto stated, “This time, the threat, in the form of Donald Trump’s ‘whitelash’ fascism, is not just apparent in the United States. Trump’s election has emboldened the right wing throughout the world.”

Artists + Allies x Hebron

Founded by Broomberg, this initiative focuses on the surveillance methods used by Israeli authorities to monitor Palestinians in and around Hebron. Often dubbed \"Facebook for Palestinians,\" this surveillance relies heavily on
