De Foto Opdracht

With Renewed Energy, Noorderlicht and BPD Cultuurfonds, in cooperation with various partners, are putting together a programme full of exhibitions, publications and public activities. De Foto Opdracht, in collaboration with Historische Vereniging Middelstum, will open in Middelstum on 30 April.
Groningen deserves full attention. In late February, the parliamentary committee on natural gas extraction Groningen released its final report. Much needs to be restored, both physically and in trust and administrative relations. But it is also the time to look forward again.
In the exhibition De Foto Opdracht, five residents of Middelstum and the surrounding region present a view of their habitat, which aligns with their own experiences and their view of the future. The residents decided what should be portrayed, and the photographers from Noorderlicht determined the method and form. In this exhibition, you will see the result of this collaboration. The stories have become very personal, and at the same time, they touch on an important question that lies behind these visual narratives: how can Groningen change and still remain itself?
De Foto Opdracht is part of the Hernieuwde Energie project, a program full of exhibitions, publications, and public activities by Noorderlicht and BPD Cultuurfonds in collaboration with various partners.
The photographers at the Noorderlicht Photo Salon are: Pieter Tonnis de Graaf, Caroline Penris, Marc Knip, Anita Oosterloo and Erik Slot. In collaboration with: Pieter Goldhoorn, Fre Tuitman, Jannie and Jakob Blauw, Jacob Hogendorf and Dick Wijgchel.
