Noorderlicht
Noorderlicht is involved in everything related to photography and lens-based media, whether that be exhibitions, workshops, or, in this case, a Museum Night! From a Tiny Factory Party in the factory control room to a Great Big Angry Fake News Quiz and workshops on portrait photography and art appreciation: in collaboration with World Press Photo, we have once again put together a fantastic program for you this year. And what's really exciting is that What Have We Done? opens at the Niemeyer on 19 September. During the Groningen Museum Night, the exhibition will be open all evening. Will we see you there?
Line-up
Exhibition: What Have We Done?
World Press Photo celebrates their 70th anniversary together with Noorderlicht with the exhibition of What Have We Done? Unpacking Seven Decades of World Press Photo. Curated by Cristina de Middel, the exhibition shows viewers how images have shaped our understanding of the world; how certain recurring visual themes exist and how they continue to influence us.
Workshop See What I Mean?
Step into a world where images speak louder than words. In this accessible but hands-on workshop, we will dive into the fascinating art of visual learning together with World Press Photo. Whether you're a visual thinker, a curious creative, or just tired of words doing all the talking: this workshop invites you to see, feel, and learn in full color. See What We Mean?
The Great Big Angry Fake News Quiz
Think you can separate AI from a real picture? Or spot the truth in a sea of false headlines and Facebook news posts? You can put your skills to the test in this quiz. Winners will have to fight for the ultimate prize: a Fujifilm Instax camera. And if you fail? Well, we will be very angry and you will be going home without knowing if you will ever be able to trust the news again. Sad.
Workshop Mug Shots & Masterpieces
Did you know that your face tells a story? This workshop, partnered with World Press Photo and Fujifilm, will teach you the magic of portraiture. What story tells your face? It is all about personality, presence and attitude. In any case, we will teach you how to capture real emotion, frame character, and how to tell a story with just a face. Pictures will be made with a Fujifilm Instax camera and you can take the results home with you.
Tiny Factory Fuif
Small, intimate disco party inside the supervisor station room in the factory. We don’t know what more to say. We have a DJ, drinks and some cool lights. An once-in-a-lifetime experience, if we have any say in it.
