On Friday, 22 September, three of the photographers taking part in this year’s edition of NJP will be taking the stage at the Dok23 photo festival in Fredrikstad.
After a few years’ hiatus, the Dok photo festival is back. On the weekend of 22 to 24 September, Norwegian and international photographers alike will be attending the festival in Fredrikstad to show their works.
The programme will include current NJP participants as well as NJP alumni.
At 2 p.m. on Friday, 22 September, Lars Martin Hunstad, Giulia Mangione and Jo Straube will be appearing at the House of Literature to talk about and show their NJP projects, which will be launched in the NJP book in just a few weeks. Their projects address the topics of Northern Norway, people who fear the end of the world, and gender reassignment.
On the evening of the same day, photographer Nora Savosnick will be speaking to an audience about her work as a freelance photographer, with special focus on Ukraine. Over the past two years, she has visited the country seven times. At 6.30 p.m. on Friday, she will talk about her work and her impressions. She participated in the last round of NJP.
