After months of protesting and campaigning, we face the future with new vigor. Smaller, but with the same ambition and standard.

A big and grateful THANK YOU to all who supported us in our fight.

Let's have a wonderful 2013!

Can photography expose the powers that caused the crisis?

For the Noorderlicht Photofestival 2013, we call upon the photographic community to help build an inspired, profound and heartfelt exhibition on the so-called '1%', or rather; the roots of the current economic crisis.

Last November, The Sweet and Sour Story of Sugar started its world tour. The exhibition in Jakarta just finished, it is now on show in Yogyakarta (both Indonesia) and in 2013 it will visit Brazil, Surinam and the Netherlands. The project tells about the dynamics and history of globalization by addressing the bittersweet legacy of sugar.

With commissioned works by James Whitlow Delano (Japan/US), Alejandro Chaskielberg (Argentina), Ed Kashi (US), Francesco Zizola (Italy), Carl de Keyzer (Belgium) and Tomasz Tomaszewski (Poland).
