Projects
Introduction
The Noorderlicht Project Bureau is responsible for activities that fall outside the regular programming of the festival and gallery. These include arranging and granting photography commissions on social themes, putting together exhibitions at the request of other institutions or businesses, or engaging in co-productions with fellow institutions, businesses and non-profit organisations.
The Project Bureau also arranges the international tours for Noorderlicht productions. In recent years selections from our main exhibitions, special projects and photographic commissions have been seen in more than twenty countries, from Finland to Syria, from the Czech Republic to America, and from Singapore to Australia.
CURRENT PROJECTS
The Sweet and Sour Story of Sugar
A comparative investigation in which the process of globalisation is examined from the perspective of four different countries. Assignment series with exhibition and book, made possible by Mondriaan Foundation and SNS REAAL Fund.
Voices of the Middle East
The year 2011 marked an impressive turnaround in several countries in the Middle East. Despite continuous reports from press and media, the focus lies steadily on ‘the square’ and the immediate pictures of the uprising. Noorderlicht wonders what does not reach us and is interested in seeing the stories behind the scenes and reports on an individual level. What is happening in other cities, or a few streets further on?
