Martiniplaza | Noorderlicht 30 jaar
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary Noorderlicht, we present a cross section of the photography that we presented over the last three decades. In MartiniPlaza we show work by photographers from all corners of the globe, whose work is connected to each other by the mission of Noorderlicht: to bring the audience in touch with imaginative, socially relevant art.
In 1990, a group of passionate photo enthusiasts decided to organize a photo party in Groningen to celebrate the tenth anniversary of what was then still called the USVA Photo Gallery. That party grew into the first Noorderlicht festival. In the years that followed, Noorderlicht developed into a professional, internationally acclaimed photo institution, with the whole of the Northern Netherlands as its primary field of activity and a wide range of activities.
