Running alongside the Shutter Hub OPEN 2026 exhibition at Cambridge University for 10 weeks (including 2 weeks as part of the Cambridge Festival), the Shutter Hub Pop-Up Photobook Library gives participating photographers and publishers the opportunity to showcase their books to a diverse audience of over 45,000 festival goers (on top of our already projected audience of over 10,000 visitors!)
Featuring a curated selection of photobooks, zines, and independent publications created by photographers and publishers from around the world, our goal is to highlight a broad selection of photobooks ranging across as many genres and themes as possible.
The Photobook Library will be open to everyone and fully accessible to the public to come in and view the books any time they like (as long as the building is open!). We will also produce an online catalogue of every publication featured in the library, providing a means for people to buy directly from the photographers, to get in touch, share and ask questions.
Whether you are an emerging photographer with your first zine, or an established publisher with a series of photobooks, we invite you to submit your work and become part of this library of creativity.
