Project Launch | Reconstruction of Identities
NOOR is excited to share the recently launched Reconstruction of Identities #RIO Project, a project aiming to promote and protect the richness of both national and European cultural heritage. The RIO Project will breathe life into small communities by stimulating cultural activities as an alternative communication method between locals and newcomers.
This project has been set up through close collaboration between Creative Europe, The Municipality of Savignano Sul Rubicone, Copenhagen Photo Festival, Ad Hoc, and NOOR.
To enhance communication between foreigners and locals within such communities, RIO project aims to organise a wide-ranging programme of talks, conferences, guided tours, and book-signings; it promotes the opening of artists’ residencies, the organisation and circulation of exhibitions, and the lending of artworks to other museums or institutions; it aims at providing young and amateur photographers with educational resources, activities and workshops.
Keep an eye on the RIO website or Instagram page for the latest news and updates!
Kadir van Lohuizen & Pole traveler Bernice Notenboom talk about the effects of the melting ice-caps in the Arctic
Dedicated to the Arctic and chaired by Jean Jouzel, and under the patronage of Minister Ségolène Royal, French Ambassador for the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, the 9th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award was awarded to Yuri Kozyrev and Kadir Van Lohuizen (NOOR). Their investigative photoreportage «Arctic: New Frontier» is a pioneering double expedition which explores the effects of climate change on the entire Arctic territory. They want to experience the dramatic transformation of natural landscapes and the demographics in the Arctic, and the impact of these changes on the lives of the region’s inhabitants.
With amongst others
- Kadir Van Lohuizen | Photographer and journalist
- Bernice Notenboom | Pole traveler
- Othniel Art Oomittuk Jr | Inupiaq artist
"The photos of Yuri Kozyrev and Kadir van Lohuizen are superb. Through them, from Siberia, Svalbard and Greenland to Canada and Alaska, we discover the Arctic of today, with its landscapes and wildlife that are drawing a growing number of tourists, as well as its populations who are exposed to extreme climates and who mine resources such as nickel and, increasingly, gas, oil and coal. Protecting the environment does not appear central to their activity, to put it mildly." —Jean Jouzel, climatologist, winner of the 2012 Vetlesen Award and co-winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Award as Director of the IPCC
The moderator of this event is Saccomani Clément.

Tanya Habjouqa | SEVENTY YEARS OF SUFFOCATION with Amnesty International
Photo by Tanya Habjouqa / NOOR
2018 marks 70 years since the expulsion and displacement of more than 700,000 Palestinians from their homes, villages and cities during the one-year conflict that created Israel in 1948. Since then, the Nakba (catastrophe), as it is known in Arabic to Palestinians, has been engraved in Palestinian collective consciousness as a story of relentless dispossession.
We are proud to share this new digital plateform where NOOR's Tanya Habjouqa collaborated together Amnesty International in producing this immersive photo-story on 70 years of Palestinian displacement.
