The cooperative alliance RAY Fotografieprojekte Frankfurt/RheinMain came into being in 2010 on the initiative of the Kulturfonds Frankfurt RheinMain to highlight and bundle the competence and diversity of photography in the Rhine-Main region. Since its first edition RAY 2012 the unique collaboration features and produces international examples of contemporary photography and related media every three- years.

After the first three successful editions RAY 2012, RAY 2015 and RAY 2018, this special quality and versatility is presented again in an exceptional constellation: Over 22 artists, 15 partner institutions, 11 exhibition venues and 9 cities in the Rhine-Main region will join forces and put this focus in the international spotlight. With exhibitions, a multitude of events and a three-day festival dedicated to the theme of IDEOLOGIES, the RAY Triennial  offers a multifaceted exploration of photography and its related media.

The RAY 2021 IDEOLOGIES Exhibitions with works and new productions of international artists will be on view at the following venues: Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation in The Cube, Fotografie Forum Frankfurt, Kunststiftung DZ BANK, Museum Angewandte Kunst, MUSEUM MMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST.
