The 27th edition of the Noorderlicht International Photo Festival kick-offs at four locations in Heerenveen and Groningen, the Netherlands.
“Generation Z” presents work by 36 photographers and filmmakers, about the mindset and energy of the youngest generation of world citizens, born after 1995. What is their place in society, how do they see their future, what are their ambitions?
Generation Z
The artists selected by guest curator Robert Jan Verhagen paint a picture of a generation that has an infinite amount of information at its disposal, faces an exhausted earth and grows up in times of economic stagnation and nationalistic sentiments. But they also show us a group that focuses on fundamental emancipation processes, sustainability and inclusivity. Generation Z represents a change in thinking and acting that will affect all generations.
The Noorderlicht International Photo Festival 2020, GENERATION Z, will take place from July 18 to September 20 at four locations in Heerenveen and Groningen, the Netherlands. The 27th edition is about the mindset and energy of the youngest generation of world citizens, born after 1995. What is their place in society, how do they see their future, what are their ambitions? By tapping into the hopes and fears of Generation Z, Noorderlicht aims to provide insight into their young adult world. A sharp selection has been made for the festival, that shows a generation focusing on fundamental emancipation processes.
