Noorderlicht 2006 Photofestival
LEEUWARDEN, THE NETHERLANDS SEPTEMBER 10 through OCTOBER 29 2006
OPENING SEPTEMBER 9 FRIES MUSEUM
Focus on South and Southeast Asia
In 2006 the 13th edition of the Noorderlicht Photofestival will be held at various locations in and around Leeuwarden, with the main exhibition in the Fries Museum and Museum Het Princessehof. Just like Africa Inside (2000), Mundos Creados (2002) and Nazar (2004) before, the event is structured so as to devote attention to non-Western photography: South and Southeast Asia.Although interest in this particular quarter of the world has increased sharply since the tsunami, Asian photographers still enjoy little recognition in the West.
