New Voices III

Nine emerging photographers with roots in countries including Cuba, Yemen, Egypt, Argentina, Ukraine, and Syria present their vision of the Netherlands. Their documentary photographs are intimate, confronting, and revealing. They break through stereotypical images and show how personal and layered themes such as migration and identity can be. The program marks the conclusion of a six-month trajectory filled with workshops and masterclasses. Photographer Jan Dirk van der Burg will host the evening and engage with the makers about the works they present and the stories behind them.

New Voices – photography by newcomers
In the New Voices project, refugee photographers and photojournalists are given the opportunity to continue their profession in the Netherlands. Over the course of five months, they work on a personal documentary photo series around the central theme: the newcomers’ view of the Netherlands.
Within the project, participants each develop their own visual concept, guided by professionals in the field including Rob Godfried. Workshops are provided on photojournalism, photo editing, and storytelling, led by experienced Dutch photographers. In addition, inspiring excursions are organized, for example to photo museums, galleries, or editorial offices.

The trajectory culminates in a joint exhibition and magazine, where the work and stories of these image-makers are presented to a broad audience.
