Nicola Muirhead Earns Rotlicht Selection
Bermudian documentary photographer Nicola Muirhead has been named among 20 winners of the Rotlicht Festival for Analog Photography’s 2026 international open call, with her Descendants of Summer project set to be exhibited in Vienna, Austria.
The festival said its jury selected the 20 projects from 327 submissions from 44 countries using a points system, with Muirhead listed as representing Bermuda. The selected photographers come from 14 countries.
This year’s open call was held under the theme Anthropocene: Hybrid Realities, with organisers saying the selected projects explore the relationship between the organic and the artificial, human intervention and ecological vulnerability.
The winning projects will form Rotlicht’s main exhibition at the Atelierhaus of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, with the exhibition unveiled at the festival opening on November 27. The festival continues through December 6.
While Muirhead is one of the festival’s 20 open-call winners, the separate 2026 Grand Prix was awarded to United States photographer Beihua Guo for Designated Ground Zeros.
