NOOR supports the Global Climate Strike that will take place on September the 20th and encourages everyone to join the movement.
For more than a decade, NOOR Authors have documented our growing climate crisis caused by fossil fuel production and material consumption along with the political forces enabling this planetary catastrophe. Through our work we have also pointed to solutions to help ensure sustainable human presence on this planet. The need for action is urgent.
As world leaders meet in New York City next month and climate actions are planned world wide, we will dedicate the month of September to sharing stories on the environment from our archive and works in progress. Please follow these stories on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
We encourage our media partners, researchers, and our community to do the same.
We are proud to announce that the RIO Project has organized a residency program in Copenhagen, during the Copenhagen Photo Festival. NOOR photographer Andrea Bruce (@andreabruce) is one of the four chosen artists who will be participating in the program.

The residency is an opportunity for the participating photographers to meet photographers participating in the RIO Project, as well as photographers exhibiting at the festival. The four photographers will educate selected emerging artists, and gain insight into Danish culture and cultural identity through visiting a number of Danish photography-related institutions.
All in all, a promising programme has been set up, keep an eye for the progress through our website and Instagram.
Andrea Bruce's Our Democracy just returned from New Hampshire, USA, where we covered examples of direct democracy and their Town Meeting season.
Make sure to follow the project on the Our Democracy's instagram account.
With its partners World Crunch and Internazionale, we are proud to share that NOOR was awarded funding by the Google Digital News Innovation Fund to develop a new collaborate project "Pix.T: The Blockchain-Driven Marketplace For Photojournalism, Digital Publishing & Exclusive Art Photo Prints".
Pix.T aims to create a vast new marketplace at the service of both photojournalism and online news operations. Turning the digital-print dichotomy on its head, we will build an innovative e-commerce platform powered by blockchain technology to manage the licensing rights of digital images and scale the selling of limited edition prints to the mass market of digital news readership.
As part of #InternationalWomanDay, Andrea Bruce is part of the latest feature on National Geographic showing how women photographers access to unique stories.
