Noorderlicht must stay!
By Tessa Bunney on 8 June 2012
For the past year I have been taking part in the fantastic Noorderlicht Masterclass in Groningen, The Netherlands organised by Lars Boering and Marc Prüst and with great international Masters such as Francis Hodgson, Magdalena Herrera from Geo France and David Birkitt from DMB Media.
The host organisation Noorderlicht is at risk of closure as the Dutch advisory board of The Netherlands advised the Dutch Government to cut the financial support to Noorderlicht after 2012. Half of the total Noorderlicht budget comes from the Government, this is therefore a major setback for them and might lead to the end of their annual Photofestival.
The 14 participants of the 2011/12 Masterclass are collaborating with Noorderlicht to produce a support newspaper. It will be out next week and features our work for the Masterclass. If you would like a copy, please let me know!
