Open Student Call
Noorderlicht believes it is important to show and hear the voice and work of young and student makers. We believe that the voice of a new generation is indispensable for shaping the future. For that reason we asked art and photography students from all over the world for their vision on REGENERATE, the festival theme of Noorderlicht International Photo Festival 2023. The central question is: how can we take better care of our climate, society and ourselves in the future?
123 students had their voices heard and all submissions were exhibited, regardless of the artist’s level of experience or background. The result can now be viewed here: the theme REGENERATE, seen from different continents, cultures and perspectives. All through the eyes of (young) student image-makers. Be surprised and above all inspired. Because how do you envision the future?
