BredaPhoto and Forhanna continued the cooperation after the successful showcase of Geert van Kesteren’s The Believers in 2018.

Photojournalist Joshua Irwandi shadowed hospital workers in Indonesia, taking a striking image of a plastic-wrapped body
of a COVID-19 victim while making sure not to reveal distinguishing characteristics or even gender.
This image, at BredaPhoto 2020 in the former KPN building, which humanized the suffering from the virus, provoked thousands of positive and hostile reactions.

Forhanna supports Joshua Irwandi’s project VIRAL with a Talent grant,
