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!
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.

How do photographers present their subjects in a way that ensures dignity, empowerment and inclusion?

kadir van lohuizen's rising sealevels in sunday times magazine
The Sunday Times Magazine published Kadir van Lohuizen's extensive project about sea levels rising around the world. Kadir asks, "How fast is it going? It is alarming that past figures appear to have been too conservative and that humanity should start preparing for the biggest displacement of mankind in known history. As people in all of the world’s regions become displaced at ever growing scales, the biggest question is: Where will they go?"
