Nordic Photography Network

Nordic Photography Network (NPN) is a network established in 2012 by four Nordic photography organisations. The current member organisations of the network are Galleri Image, Aarhus, The Northern Photographic Centre, Oulu, Centrum För Fotografi, Stockholm, Fotogalleriet, Oslo, Forbundet Frie Fotografer, Oslo, Fotografisk Center, København, Fotogalleriet Format, Malmø, The Icelandic Photography Festival, Reykjavik, and Hippolyte, Helsinki.

The objective of the network is to increase collaboration in the field of contemporary camera-based art within the Nordic countries and to generate a deeper, mutual knowledge about different artistic practices. The network also aims at generating deeper, mutual knowledge of different artistic practices both within the Nordic countries and within a broader international context.
