Noorderlicht is thirty years young! In 1990, a group of driven photo lovers decided to build a photo party in Groningen, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of what was then called the USVA Photogallery. This turned into the first Noorderlicht festival. In the years that followed Noorderlicht grew and became a professional, internationally appreciated organisation with the entire north of the Netherlands as its primary working field and a broad range of activities. Many years later we are still those photo lovers, eager to produce new and challenging projects again and again.
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary Noorderlicht presents a cross section of the photography that it presented during its existence. 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.
