Artists

Discover a first selection of artists from the programme

BredaPhoto brings together work by more than thirty photographers and artists for the festival, often presented in the Netherlands for the first time and in some cases created especially for the festival. Keep an eye on our website for the full programme, which will be announced soon.
Noor Abed
Palestinian artist Noor Abed is creating the video installation we walk in our sleep especially for BredaPhoto Festival 2026. Together with the community around her — family, friends, and neighbours — she connects ancient traditions with contemporary life in Palestine. Through movement and choreography, she poetically explores a spatial and political vision of her homeland. The project is commissioned by BredaPhoto and Matter of Art, with support from the Mondriaan Fonds and the Han Nefkens Foundation

Awoiska van der Molen

The monochrome landscape photographs of Awoiska van der Molen emerge from a desire to penetrate deep into the essence of the isolated natural world. For The Living Mountain, she collaborated with composer Thomas Larcher to translate the experience of Larcher’s birthplace — the mountains of Tyrol — into a composition of music and imagery.
