From the late 1960s, the first women from Turkey came to the Netherlands to build a new life here. What were their lives like? We know very little about it. The exhibition 'Je moest eens weten' ('You should know') 'and the publication of the same name by photographer and artist Çiğdem Yüksel tell the stories of these women.
In the Gallery of Dutch Photography, 99 iconic photos narrate the story of the evolution of photography in the Netherlands from 1842 to the present day. The Gallery showcases the highlights, innovations, and significant strides photographers have made from the invention of photography to the latest innovations. These photos hold iconic value due to their societal and artistic significance.
In museums, women are often portrayed as muses in artworks, but the project WOMXN. flips this narrative: women have taken the lead. How do they see themselves? How do they wish to be portrayed? What matters to them? Photographer Sebiha Öztaş has selected 23 women for the WOMXN. project based on the strength they exude and their societal contributions to the city of Rotterdam.
By organizing various projects, the Nederlands Fotomuseum aims to offer a museum experience where everyone feels welcome. We believe that (cultural) diversity enriches our society and strive to reflect this in our collection, exhibitions, and educational programs — both within the museum and beyond.
From October 15 to December 8, the Nederlands Fotomuseum, in collaboration with the Steenbergen Foundation, will present the 27th edition of the Steenbergen Stipendium. This is the award for the best photographic graduation work created by a student from one of the Dutch art academies.
