Trial by social media – Cancel culture reaches BredaPhoto
Yesterday we mentioned that BredaPhoto offered 54 projects – but in a matter of fact one project was scrapped within a week from it’s opening. What happened?
From the start BredaPhoto profiled itself as a critical & ethical arts festival: each edition reflects the issues that confronts us. The lure of technology was translated in ‘To Infinity and Beyond’ (2018), self-centeredness in ‘You’ (2016), authenticity & new romanticism in ‘Song from the Heart’ (2014), opposed to the Homo Economicus they proposed the ‘Homo empathicus’ (2012), the economic turmoil was analyzed in ‘Tilt’ (2010) and ‘Heimat Hotel’ (2008) confronted our views on ‘the other’ and migration.
