Carré Chassé - BredaPhoto Location

A new location for BredaPhoto and immediately the largest! The old police station at Chasséveld has been completely renovated into a hotspot and is one of the highlights of BredaPhoto. Not only do many different photographers showcase their work here, but there is also a small cinema that screens 5 short films daily. You can shop in the bookshop, and if you need a short break, you can relax in the café with a cup of coffee. When visiting the festival hub Carré Chassé, it's best to set aside some extra time.

Note: some parts of this BredaPhoto location are only accessible with a ticket.

What beautiful stories can you expect at Carré Chassé? We have highlighted a few artists:

• Thana Faroq tells stories about strong young women who, like her, have come to the Netherlands as refugees. Through images and text, she offers us a glimpse into the journey towards a new identity.
• The Dutch-Palestinian photographer Sakir Khader takes us into the lives of Palestinians in Jenin and Nablus. What is it like to grow up in Palestine? Can you really be a child? What opportunities and chances are there for your life path if you are born here?
• The work of Max Grund explores themes such as exclusion, shame, and arrogance as a form of self-protection and is based on personal experiences during his teenage years. This young talent invites viewers to reconsider prejudices and embrace the beauty of vulnerability.
• Giany Kraan (GIGI) examines the phenomenon of bloodlines being consciously or unconsciously 'bleached' by choosing non-black partners, often a survival mechanism. His work combines stories of people from all over the world.
• The artist duo Margit Lukács & Persijn Broersen aims to ask questions about how we as humans relate to nature with the film Forest on Location. Using digital techniques such as photogrammetry (BUAS Game course), this duo has created a virtual replica of the last remnants of the ancient forest in Europe.
• The internationally renowned Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons surprises visitors with an impressive spectacle of life-sized textile canvases in the atrium. Who am I, really, she seems to wonder. And who are you?
• Where do ships go after their last journey? Hira Nabi’s docu-fiction film takes place on a beach in Pakistan, where rejected ships are dismantled. The film zooms in on the lives, exploitation, ecological damage, and the rich industries that dump their waste in other parts of the world.
• The grandmother of photographer Anaïs López left her two small children behind in 1946 and departed with her Nazi lover to South America, or so the story goes. To grasp her past, Anaïs investigates her family history. The film Blood Ties is a film by Anaïs López, produced by Prospektor in co-production with KRO-NCRV.
• In the film My little Ambi, Amber Dooms takes the viewer on a journey from innocent childhood to the feverish world of adolescence and young adulthood.
