Evening program
19.30: Fotoplaza with Mirjam Koch and Wim van der Meeren.
Mirjam Koch-Rose (1974) is a writer and independent visual artist, born in Paramaribo, Suriname, and raised in the Netherlands. Her photography can be described as candid, poetic, intimate and disarming. Her work often focuses on themes including identity, mental health, social justice and cultural diversity.
Wim van der Meeren talks about the making of a photobook that brings together work from across his career. Part of the work was shot on analog film in black and white, reinforcing its documentary character.
20.00 hrs: The story behind BredaPhoto Festival 2026, Our Songs Came Through, by Friso Wijnen, director of BredaPhoto.
Wijnen shares the story behind this major photography festival. The twelfth edition of the international BredaPhoto Festival opens on 11 September 2026. Across the city of Breda, the festival presents photography and audiovisual art in unexpected locations including parks, the former police station and a former women's prison. This edition is about comfort and resilience.
Under the title Our Songs Came Through, BredaPhoto presents powerful photography and video art. BredaPhoto tells moving stories about people in different parts of the world who may be closer to you than you expect.
BredaPhoto 2026 brings together work by more than forty photographers and artists, often shown in the Netherlands for the first time and sometimes created especially for the festival.
The evening concludes from 21.15 with portfolio reviews by four professional photographers and De Lange Tafel.
The reviewers have many years of experience in photography, as well as extensive experience as coaches and mentors. Their advice will give you practical guidance on getting more from your photographic work.
