Noorderlicht International Photofestival 2017
NUCLEUS | imagining science
from Oct. 22nd till Nov. 26th
seven locations in Groningen, Eelde and Assen

From 22 October - 26 November 2017, the 24 th edition of the Noorderlicht International Photography Festival will take place. During ‘NUCLEUS, imagining science’ work of 74 photographers from 26 countries can be seen at seven locations in Groningen, Eelde and Assen.

Tribute to human ingenuity
NUCLEUS is about science and the representation of it by independent photographers and artists. In response to social developments, more and more artists use science in their research and as a source of inspiration. Science and art form a fertile combination after all. Both disciplines work from an investigative urge, with curiosity, originality, creativity and an open mind as fundamental principles. In NUCLEUS, the photographers tell their stories about science and the representation of it in around 700 images. It is the first time a collaboration from Noorderlicht will occur with KINK in Assen and Museum De Buitenplaats in Eelde.

Opening on Saturday 21 October
The festival will be opened in the Der Aa-kerk on 21 October at 16:00 by René Paas, Commissioner of the King in the Province of Groningen. Govert Schill ing, scientific journalist and publicist at de Volkskrant and New Scientist, will shed light on the visual representation of science. Various exhibiting photographers will be present, including Michael Najjar, Maija Tammi, Daniel Stier, Andrea Stultiens, Peter Voigt, Serinyà and Marie Lukasiewicz.
