Selected by Noorderlicht: Academie Minerva & FMI Graduates

7 Jul 2026

By Tara Joanroy

Each year, Noorderlicht selects a graduate from Academie Minerva or the Frank Mohr Institute who works with lens-based media and whose work demonstrates experimentation, urgency, and a distinct vision on the relationship between image, society, and technology.

Sorela Archív

This year, Emma Stranáková has been selected for her work Sorela Archív: hand-sewn smocked objects that transform archival images into three-dimensional works.

Her practice explores how material processes can preserve, reshape, and reinterpret collective memory. Hungarian mythology and the country's communist past form the conceptual foundation of her work.

Emma receives €500 and will present her work in a Noorderlicht exhibition next year. We look forward to working with Emma and presenting her work.
