About the project
Although she had to let go of her plans to return to Iran, she feels emotionally closer to her homeland than ever before. Now, she has all the ingredients to bring this project to life.
BredaPhoto and Prospektor are the producers of this project. Forhanna provides personal support to the artist Tina Farifteh, enabling her to further strengthen her narratives, focus on expanding channels and platforms where she can present herself in a way that inspires, resonates, and challenges people to think about this important subject.
A major presentation will be showcased at the BredaPhoto Festival 2024, themed ‘Journeys’. This edition centralises physical, psychological, and spiritual travels, fostering growth for the traveler.
More about the project
Marc Prüst's doctoral research at the University of Groningen focuses on the transition within the entire visual economic industry, aiming to clarify how economic value relates to social value. Developing this understanding requires a historical perspective on the economic infrastructure of non-fiction photography, the current state of this media economy, and the role and position of both professional photographers working in various fields and institutions such as galleries, museums, publishers, agencies, funds, interest groups, etc.
The results of this research will be practically translated into an annual publication, public events, and potentially webinars. Forhanna focuses on a small part of the whole, autonomous narrative photography, but deems it necessary to support Prüst in his research that benefits the entire sector. It aligns with Forhanna's mission to recognize the importance of this project, as it can provide essential insights to creators and involved parties about the structure of the photographic industry, how to act professionally within it, and gain new perspectives on possible future developments.

Production grant
Forhanna supports Tina’s project because it aligns perfectly with Forhanna’s objectives. ‘Tina in Sexbierum’ is not only current and relevant, but also urgent in our modern society, especially concerning refugee experiences. The project reflects previous themes of Tina’s work, but this time she takes an even more personal approach. She reveals her own inner struggle, and Forhanna encourages her to elevate her story to a universal level.
