Photography with a connection to the region
The exhibition brings together works by Darya Boiko, Jessika Dirks, Mara Griem, Norbert Hillwig, Ulf Jasmer, Klaus G. Kohn, Matthias Langer, and Stefan Sobotta. Thematically, it revolves around people, associations, initiatives, and forms of voluntary engagement. This creates an event experience that closely intertwines art, observation, and everyday reality.

A topic of social relevance
The cause for the project is the Day of Lower Saxony, which will take place for the first time in Braunschweig from June 12 to 14, 2026. The exhibition is under the patronage of Mayor Dr. Thorsten Kornblum and was developed through an open call as a photography competition aimed at making social engagement and volunteering visible. This gives the exhibition a clear authority and strong regional anchoring. ([photomuseum.de](https://www.photomuseum.de/index.php/project/with-a-little-help/?utm_source=openai))

Visitors can experience changing exhibitions in a building known for its profound photographic positions. The location on Helmstedter Straße, close to other cultural venues and the calm museum atmosphere makes the visit particularly pleasant.
