The children’s treasure hunt is more than just looking at photos. It is an interactive exploration along the locations Carré Chassé, 't Zoet, and the Backer + Ruebhal.  

While children go on adventures and complete tasks, they also learn about photography, visual language, and how to express their own creativity.  At the end of each location, they earn a nice stamp in their Journeys passport. Have all the stamps collected? Then they are officially ‘travellers’ of the BredaPhoto Festival. 

The Journeys passport, the BredaPhoto treasure hunt, is available for € 1,50 at the Explore Breda Store or in the festival shop at Carré Chassé.  

The Nieuwe Veste has come up with many fun and creative BredaPhoto activities for children. What is on the agenda? 

• Greenscreen  
  In the makersbase of the Nieuwe Veste, a Greenscreen with props is available on various Saturday afternoons that you can use to create a creative photo.  
• Stopmotion workshop themed around travel (Sign up in time!)  
  Here, you will work together in the makersbase to create an amazing stopmotion film. 
• Individual travel stories  
  A storyteller shares travel stories. Both fictional and classical tales from antiquity in which the gods go on a journey will be featured. 
• Comic drawing workshop: Adventure travels (Sign up in time!)  
  With guidance from a comic drawing teacher, you will create a short travel comic story yourself. 

The Great Church of Breda has been a house of stories for 750 years. In every corner, there is something to see, and during BredaPhoto, children can really let loose in discovering the Great Church. Not only with a treasure hunt in search of knights and animals. Now they can even take off their shoes! The centuries-old church floor has been transformed into a surprising floor installation with a large red carpet. It’s wonderful to lie back and gaze at the endless ceiling. Or to hop around barefoot. It’s all allowed and permissible. While adults take the interactive tour featuring the work of Brazilian Rosangela Renno, children explore the church from many lying and sitting viewpoints.  

On Sunday 20 October and Sunday 27 October, Artstudio23 will host two photography workshops for children aged 10 to 16. During these workshops at ‘t Zoet, they will learn to capture in an unusual and creative way what inspires them in this environment.  Various techniques and tricks with the smartphone or camera will be explained. The children learn how to make clever use of shadows, create shadows themselves and how reflections can play a role in photos. There is plenty of room to show your own creativity. 
When participating in the workshop, please bring your own camera phone or other kind of camera.
The workshops are free, but you must register.
